The project is about the design of a section of the coastline of eastern Thessaloniki and specifically in Mikra in Kalamaria. The site of interest is a section of the waterfront with an area of 130 acres, located at the node between the city and its future extension. It is bounded by construction and natural elements that define its nature and existence.

The access in the area is from the waterfront promenade and smaller roads vertical to it, both of which form part of the orthogonal city plan. The vegetation in the area is dense with large green areas. However, the lack of urban design creates an urban area without identity. The residential density is almost zero, as the buildings are limited to the sporting activities of Mikra and the equestrian center of Northern Greece (IOBE).

In order for the area to become part of the city and the beginning of its future expansion, our basic gesture was to design a grid system of main and secondary paths, according to which different functional entities are formed (accommodation, forest, recreation, equestrian activities). Because of the linearity of the waterfront, paths in higher level from the ground were designed, that also integrate all the entities.

The first functional module is the accommodation area. It is a residential complex in the water, a grid of empty and built spaces, organized in two levels, that gives the visitor the feeling of floating or hovering, in case. The main characteristics of the bungalows are the flexibility, the freedom of movement, the transparency, the exposure in the south and the panoramic skyline views in the sea.
The second module, the green zone, is a parkland that is created as the filter between the public (sport fields) and the private spaces (bungalows).
In the center of the design is the equestrian center building with view over the open field, with its shading system, that is a main element of the design, and the horizon.
The last module, is that of the equestrian activities, with stalls and closed field that are organized around open training fields and other landscape configurations.
