Project Description
FROM THE ARCHITECT:
Avaza Aqua Park is an exclusive development
project containing an aqua park, a shopping centre, sport installations in
combination with a hotel and a yacht club. The magnificent location in
combination with the facilities makes Aqua Park the frame in which sea,
landscape, air and light converge to stimulate the Avaza experience. With water
as guiding principle, Aqua Park offers an unique experience for the new elite
tourists, focusing on the quality of life, time, personal development and
plenty of space for the individual. When we imagined how to translate luxury
into architecture, we realized that the real luxury is in the space.
In order to break with the rigidity of
traditional architectural systems, Aqua Park is a building conceived as an
environment, dematerializing its borders and merging into the landscape,
assuming the relationship with nature in order to maximize the environmental
experience.
Starting from a circular footprint, the
building becomes a soft disc, from which its lifted edges, hilly landscape
emerges, with views and grandiose caves beneath, the result is a
landscaped-building with a defined and seductive shape which creates systems of
open spaces.
The landscaped
building is made of three elements:
white marble, vegetation and water, creating a land-liquid geology. The
interior is conceived as a filter which links two landscapes: the exterior, the
desert and the sea, and the interior, an artificial cave.
