The main function of our work is to stimulate curiosity and address tourists to the beach-bath facilities.

Following the natural landscape`s beauty, we want emphatize and defend somenthing that will soon disappear : THE DUNES. Our organic conception stems from the desire to proceed in a vital continuity with the site, which is not camoufflage.

We want give the idea of seascape and a pleasant dimension.

The features of this landscape are consolidated by REFORESTATION of the pinewood and by some native and resistant plants as the "Yuccas" { sword-shaped leaves and large terminal clusters of WHITE flowers, "Spireas" {with ORANGE-YELLOW small flowers} and "Lavandulas" {named `Blue Cushion`, characterized by its dwarf compact habit, profuse blooming in early June continuing into late summer, upstanding flower spikes appearing well above the foliage, and its deep blue flowers which fade first to pale BLUE and then to GREY, giving a distinctive bicolor effect}

We have designed 7 windbreaks in order to protect them from the winds . not so easy to create a garden in front of the adriatic sea.

The paving is made of porcelain tiles with a bush-hammered surface laid out in a Palladian pattern. This kind of paving covers softly sinuous surfaces of the spontaneous dunes.
