Winter Harbour in Bratislava, nowadays inefficiently used and collapsing industrial area, has a great potential to become one of the most attractive places in town especially because of the potential of its water surfaces, unique atmosphere, and also because of relatively short distance from the centre of the city.
Our aim was to create a continuation of the riverside, cultural and city axis by creating at the first place a personal relationship to the place through interventions and attractors, afterwards by sequential creation the urban layout using several fundamental principles such as, presentation of genius loci, adaptation of valuable architectural heritage, creation of human scale spaces, creation of wide palette of options, supporting iversity, adaptability and continuity to achieve maximal synergy with the existing city structure and people that are living in it.
