The Sailing School is situated between the catamaran beach and the marina. The small size of the school makes it necessary to interpose a larger element between the construction and the beach, allowing it to be seen from afar, turning it into a landmark built next to the harbour breakwater.

The pergola, placed in front of the building, unifies all parts of the project and creates a shaded threshold that protects the pre-construction spaces from direct sun exposure on its southern front.

The building sits on the slightly elevated sand in a dominant position overlooking the landscape. It is built using a galvanised steel structure that is bolted and not welded on site. Likewise, the pergola to the south is built with a galvanised metal structure and a system of tensors that supports a reed roof in keeping with the site. BIGMAT AWARD, 2015. FINALIST
