The building is composed of two main volumes at different heights, whose intersection forms a dominant compositional element. This central line guides movement and space from the entrance of the bar all the way toward the sea, creating a seamless visual flow.
Facing the road, the clean and almost hermetic eastern facade features narrow vertical windows, standing subtly amid the city’s liveliness. In contrast, the western facade—opening toward the sea—features wide glass panels that allow natural light to fill the interior and reflect the ever-changing colors of the Adriatic throughout the day and night.
The interior design enhances the nautical theme, featuring a wooden ceiling, exposed beams with concealed lighting, and ropes interwoven with decorative light elements—evoking the feeling of being on a boat.
