The new urban spaces on the water, returned to the city, become a unique distinctive element in Livorno, just think that 25% of the area consists of open public spaces, all overlooking the water and developed on a new seafront. The reuse of the soil allows a sustainable densification of the center and not a dispersive expansion of the city, involving social and economic as well as energy and eco-sustainable aspects.
The center of the entire project is represented by Officine Storiche, whose name derives from the presence of the old naval pools, restored and converted into covered public spaces which overlook new commercial and entertainment activities. The recovery of the historic shipyards gives the consumer an experience that starts from the past and that projects the structure into the most current European realities. The envelopes of the buildings and the related systems are designed to have the maximum containment of heat losses and minimum energy consumption. All buildings are also designed in A class and integrated with photovoltaic energy production systems. The fluids for air conditioning are obtained by exploiting a thermo-refrigerating plant that exchanges in sea water and exploits thermal inertia, significantly reducing the need for electricity.
The area is characterized by a wide food offer, declined in all variants, which benefits from large dehors positioned on the docks overlooking the marina, an offer of fitness and wellness spaces thanks to over 4,500 square meters of swimming pools, gym and spa overlooking on the sea; innovative entertainment offer that covers the different target groups, playground areas along the external routes and, thanks to a collaboration with the territory, placement of sports associations and nautical centers that can use the structure as a reference point for the city.
