L’ARCA INTERNATIONAL: TWO NDA PROJECTS FEATURED IN MARINAS AND YACHT CLUBS BOOK!

At NDA we continually strive toward bringing positive impact and transformation to our built and natural world, and to be recognised for this is an honour.

So, we are extremely proud to announce our Sanya Luhuituo and Fuzhou Waterfront Exhibition Centre projects are featured in the Marinas and Yacht Clubs book, published by the legendary L’Arca International. 

This publication canonises the most globally iconic waterfront designs to show how purposeful design transforms the landscape of ports and marinas.

Our two projects sit alongside some of the most transformative waterfront designs in the world, including the Yas Island Yacht Club in Abu Dhabi, the Terminal Marittimo in Italy, and the Monaco Yacht Club.

Both projects are located in China and designed at a time of fast paced development in the country, these two projects mark a leap of faith of transformation. They serve to highlight the best of NDA’s innovative vision.

1.     Sanya Luhuitou

Sanya is now China’s premier boating destination, but it wasn’t always like this. Indeed Sanya Luhuitou was China’s first tourism marina with all necessary facilities, and Sanya’s popularity today highlights just how transformative this project is. 

Like all our designs, Sanya Luhuituo was created to be an integral part of an ecosystem, a hub for travellers, investment, and the pure unadulterated pleasure of cruising the sea.  

2. Fuzhou Waterfront Exhibition Centre

Fuzhou’s rich seafaring heritage demands to be represented in the city’s modern architecture, and we centred this not only in the design, but also the programming of the Fuzhou Waterfront Exhibition Centre.

A remote locale on the outskirts of the city, we’re transforming this into a 24-hour lifestyle hub by integrating life, work, and sailing culture into an immersive sailing themed landmark. 

Indeed our Fuzhou concept is so transformative, the office hub element was finalist for a World Architecture Festival award.
