La Cala Marina

The redevelopment of La Cala marina, which had been in serious disrepair for fifty years, has brought new life to a space that is now an important urban hub for Palermo.

The cycle path was connected to the existing route along the Foro Italico lawn, and a public terrace was created on the roof of the clubhouse building, offering views of Monte Pellegrino and the Cala inlet.

The Port Authority, for which we provided architectural and urban planning consultancy, required two temporary structures for the operators holding concessions for the piers, as well as food and drink services such as a bar and restaurant. The project included demolishing all unauthorised structures on the quay, which is now entirely pedestrianised and open to the public.
