With the opening of citysea, the Marina Yachting gains new activities and amenities. This is a multi-concept venue with distinct identities: a brasserie on the ground floor and a lounge bar and restaurant on the first floor.

At the Brasserie, we gave the space a decidedly simple character. The counter, clad in glazed green ceramic, reflects the colours of the lake and the castle. On this level, the glass doors fold back to dissolve the boundary between inside and out. From here, the courtyard leads to the lobby, where we used basalt—the same stone as the building’s façade—in differently finished strips. The stone-clad staircase leads to the first floor. Here, in keeping with our vision, we introduced only a few features and used just a handful of materials: lava stone, burnished and brass-finished iron, and wood. Architects, mindful of Le Corbusier’s teachings, are all fascinated by ocean liners. Here, we sought to create an interior landscape that evokes that world. In this spirit, the kitchen is conceived as the ship’s engine room and left open to view, revealing to our customers—or rather, passengers—the quality of the engine and the skill of the “engineers” who bring it to life.
