The project proposal is born from a careful analysis of the attractions: a waterfront of historical matrix located in a completely urbanized scenario.

The intervention arises as an engine for the relaunch of the tourist accommodation in Praia a Mare, and involves the replacement of the flooring and furnishings as well as the network of existing lighting without breaking preconceived balances.
