Port-city architecture

At the center of Barcelona’s Port Vell, on a stretch of water unsuitable for mooring large vessels, a new two-story building over the water provides services to marina clients and managers.

Architecture
that fosters
port-city relations

The Marina Port Vell project seeks a meeting point where architecture and landscape merge without distinction, offering formal and constructive solutions that favor subtlety, balance, and respect for the site’s distinctly Mediterranean character.

The overall intervention at Marina Port Vell has brought together all the elements involved—buildings, urban furniture, small storage structures, wayfinding—under a common logic, enabling more orderly and efficient use of port facilities, and allowing the project to fit appropriately within an urban setting halfway between an industrial environment and the historic center of Barcelona. The transformation of Marina Port Vell has turned this infrastructure into one of the finest superyacht marinas in the Mediterranean.
