The Marina Masterplan
Following the preparation of extensive market analysis, concept designs were brought together with a business plan which in consultation with Adriatic Marinas was further developed to shape and establish a preferred masterplan. Working as part of the wider project team the marina masterplan concept was communicated and integrated into the overall development plan.
A key design challenge faced by Marina Projects was the need to satisfy the operational demands of the superyachts whilst maintaining complete harmony with the wider development principles and landscape features. The initial detailed design stages focused on spatial planning, berthing layouts and specifications.
Detailed operational guidance
As the project moved forward, detailed advice and guidance included operational aspects covering the provision of a yacht club and marina facilities and administration/management structures. The initial phases of the marina were completed in 2009 and are now fully operational.
The subsequent phases of the marina are being completed over a 10 year period, with the landside development brought forward in parallel.
