The main architectural organism, which will house a boutique hotel, a residential complex, the yacht club, car parks and other areas for commercial activities, is based on the concept of functional integration and flexibility, recalling a “neighborhood” model: a social place, an organism suspended between the green and the sea, osmotic with the city, designed with a soft and dynamic architecture that recalls the physiognomy of the ligurian coast.
Blue Gate is the name of the masterplan developed by Studio Marco Piva with the aim of regenerating and enhancing a disused area of the municipality of Imperia, while preserving some elements of its historical identity. The project focused along two different but complementary guidelines: the first, which includes the disused area of the former Agnesi factory with its transformation into a multifunctional building, and the second, which includes the marina, with the creation of harmonic connection pathways with the surroundings and the refunctionalization of the area.
