Port of Punta Ala

Concept design for the redevelopment and expansion of Punta Ala Harbour.

The new port expansion project included a significant extension of the breakwater toward the northeast, the enlargement of the quay and piers, and the construction of three buildings:

• New Office Building, located in the area near the red lighthouse;
• Commercial and service area connecting to the breakwater;
• Port Reception.

Additionally, completion works and urban landscaping were carried out, contributing to the functional and aesthetic integration of the interventions within the port context.
These works made it necessary to connect the old port with the new one, creating junction points that reconnect the traces of the pre-existing structure while simultaneously introducing new and modern elements capable of harmonizing past and present.
From the overall configuration of the port arose the idea to adopt a unified design approach that integrates the various interventions under a single guiding principle. To ensure coherence and philological continuity, the furnishings and new buildings were not treated as isolated elements but as parts of a single narrative, reinterpreting and enhancing the architectural and natural characteristics inherent to the port, and adapting them to the specific requirements of each new element.
