The development concept took shape in stages, beginning with the key objective of locating an LNG storage and refuelling terminal. A cruise ship berth and a technical university were soon added to the functional framework. To protect the coastline from wave action, a breakwater was designed to form an artificial bay. Given the erosion of the shoreline, there was a need for coastal reinforcement works, which created the conditions for the development of a yacht marina with a customs clearance area and a complex of support services.

A public space is developing around the marina: a promenade with shops, cafés and walking routes. The coastal zone features hotel buildings and apartments offering panoramic views and direct access to the water. The architectural composition of the site is based on a combination of business, tourism and residential functions, creating an interconnected environment with well-planned transport and engineering infrastructure

The residential section, designed on a neighbourhood principle, is intended for employees and their families. It is complemented by a shopping centre, sports facilities and social infrastructure. Thus, the district takes on a cohesive, multifunctional character, in which industrial, educational, tourist and residential components are integrated into a single architectural and urban planning model.

The project creates a comprehensive urban environment in which housing, work, leisure and transport come together to form a balanced system. The approach is based on integrating the architectural form into the waterfront landscape and designing structures that are resilient to climatic and operational challenges. We view this work as a manifesto for a new form of waterfront urbanism, in which architecture becomes the infrastructure of the future.
