Durrës Waterfront

    This linear promenade activates & and connects 2.8km of beach front on the Adriatic coast in a city best known for its vast Roman amphitheatre.

     

    Drawing influence from this, the masterplan brings a sense of theatre to the landscape with sports, cycling and running tracks, food stations, art, water sports as well as entertainment at regular intervals, with shaded gathering spaces & beach lounger terraces. 

     

    An entertainment pier & amphitheatre create focal points for a new activation programme. Mediterranean beachside planting creates a relaxed and rustic aesthetic reinforced by the use of raw and recycled materials in the hard landscape elements.
