A retaining wall becomes the element that gives meaning to a new walk. The materiality and urban textures have their continuity to the sea thanks to the use in the project of materials such as rough concrete, stone, and earth, which generate steps, steps, and balconies. Near the market, a structure of wooden posts and beams rises as a visual memory of the net "dryers", which join another series of delicate interventions that form an interesting urban necklace facing the sea.
As a finishing touch to this linear development, the Club Náutico rises, whose shape takes advantage of the shoulder as a wall, creating a viewpoint towards Monte Louro. Muros-Noia estuary.

Motivated by different conflicts of use such as the difficult coexistence between port traffic and citizens, massive parking, or the growing commercial and leisure activity in this emblematic place of 25,843 m², its transformation is proposed, integrating different expectations of the urban and port front of Porto. do Son (A Coruña).
Organizing the access and separating the main road from the façade, allow a large public, green and paved space, which recovers the relationship between the historic center and the port. Old and new places value a process of exchange with readings beyond the strict functional resolution.
O Cruceiro, recovered as an entrance space and suggested a wooded viewpoint. The retaining wall is used as a precast promenade. Urbanization as a pattern, paving and trees allow us to interpret uses and open up the meaning of space. Rough concrete, stone, and earth, textures extend the streets inside the nucleus to the sea. Steps, stands balconies. Near the market, a structure of wooden posts and beams recalls the memory of the net dryers. Support for well-known activities (cinema, exhibitions, concerts, extension of the market…) and others to come. Also two large complementary surfaces for the Party: one free, stone; and another wooded, land. And the edge walk continues, with service to pontoons. Parking. And in the final zone, building for a new Yacht Club. The shape of the building takes advantage of the shoulder as a wall and ends it, creating a viewpoint towards Monte Louro. Muros-Noia estuary.
