Adriatic Sculptural Shores

Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas (Massimiliano Fuksas Architecture) in colaboration with Sandi Pirs, recently have won the competition for the “Capo Grande Tower” that will rise against the background of the blue sky and the coastal panorama of Koper/Capodistria.

Experts appointed by the Slovenian coastal council chose the project presented by Studio Fuksas and the Slovenian architect Sandi Pirš to link the Giusterna beach to Monte San Marco.

The position, essentially upon the sea, will make the structure not only a practical means for residents to pass from Giusterna to Monte San Marco and vice versa, but also a unique tourist attraction. Next to the tower there is a panoramic area conceived as a large platform called “Capo Grande” and is intended to accommodate bars and restaurants and to be a meeting point for both residents and tourists. Capo Grande can be reached via a 100-meter long covered bridge, clad by glass walls, so as to allow ones view to extend towards the bay and the Slovenian hinterland.
