Rowing Nautical Base

The Building

The Rowing Club Plinio Torno is placed on the west side of a large public space facing the Como Lake.

The design brief required the realization of a new nautical base in a portion of this square.

A cage of plexiglas and stainless steel protects the long boats.

The design proposal "sinks" the intervention inside an existing creek of stone where the embankment is interrupted instead of competing for surface area in the public space.

The access to the boats and the facilities is thus on a lower level than the square's, allowing the descent of boats to the water without any interference between public and sport activities.

The roof of the new building is only one meter higher than the public space thus emerging as its extension and working as a new raised belvedere.
