The site is about 2,000 m², and spread over three buildings each with two floors. The first is a long administration block running along the waterfront, and two shorter blocks containing a restaurant and spa project off a slope to one side.
The central support building is a rectangular volume that is suspended in an external steel structure that looks like the skeleton of a huge boat. Two restaurants, a cafeteria, a nautical shop, a spa candle and fill the other spaces beautiful building erected right next to the pier. In addition to the spaces store, also has two rooms for meetings or events, which can be used together or separately.
The waterside buildings are fronted with curved steel beams, which reference the framework of small gangways that connect the harbour wall and jetties.
