Yacht Club
Location: Anzali Free Zone, Guilan, Iran Yacht Club Our proposal is the result of attentive observation of the privileged scenic conditions of the site. We believe that the new Yacht Club has to solve, above and beyond the required functional programme, two aspects that we consider basic: 1. To restore the site to its “natural” condition prior to the implantation of the mediocre and badly-located constructions existing there now. This involves exploiting to the full the views of the strikingly beautiful natural rock and the stone walls that accompany it. 2. To order the movements of pedestrians all around the sector. This intersection will unite all the works included in the Special Plan, once they are completed: the circulation between the boats and the club; the circulation from the new commercial zone to the breakwater; and finally the scenic circulation between the breakwater, the lower areas of the harbour and the new shore walk. Consequently, the new building should encourage and enable these three circulatory flows present in the zone.
