YACHT CLUB
PROFESSIONAL PROJECT - HCP Architecture & Engineering
SITE: Durrat Marina | Bahrein
PHASES: Concept Design | Developed Design | Technical Design
PERIOD: 2010 - present, personal contribution 2011 - 2015
AREA: approx. 12,520.19 m² | site 14,760.00 m²
The Durrat Marina Yacht Club is located in Durrat Marina Bay, on the artificial island of Durrat Al Bahrein. The island has an area of more than 600,000 m² and is made up of a residential area with houses and apartment buildings, a commercial area and a recreational area where the yacht club is also located. The newly created marina will cover about 400 docks, with all the facilities and services required. The inspiration for this project was the resemblance between a building and a sailing boat, trying to turn into an architectural reference point for the area. The commercial part, consisting of commercial spaces, as well as restaurants and cafes, is under construction, and then the construction of the yacht club will begin.
