Landscape Architecture
Public Space, Leisure
The project brief was to enhance the current beachfront promenade by creating a series of new public spaces which would in turn enable good connectivity with the adjacent town centres and major transportation. The promenade is a linear public realm which is linked with spaces that provide a variety of activities along the sea front. This contemporary linear coastal promenade also enhances the identity of the town and provides a unique experience and journey for its users and visitors.
The design narrative was inspired from the local natural landscape of Montenegro, with the intent to drive tourism and visitation to the sea front area, while also providing social infrastructure in the means of passive recreation and beach front socialisation and relaxation opportunity.
An intuitive wayfinding and path arrangement adjacent to the beach, with considered perpendicular path networks, link the pedestrian with the hotels, and commercial boulevard behind the beach. Carefully paced sequences of activity nodes, each with a different character and use add to the user experience.
In addition, a wave-inspired organic design enables the beach and seating areas to offer more space and ease overcrowding in the summer months.
