Microcostas

Maybe the greatest thing I’ve seen all year.

Constructed on coastline of a town midway between Barcelona and Valencia called Vinaròs, these wooden terraces called “microcostas” are the work of Spanish architect, Vicente Guallart.

The beach in Vinaròs is a rocky, somewhat inhospitble place, so these islands extend the coastline, making it possible for people to sunbathe, read, or explore the tide pools.

These Microcostas function is also, to create a unique relationship between each small cove and the placement of the deck. Each one a different frame with a different context to view the Mediterranian through.

While we’re on the theme of Mediteranian utopian relaxation- Modyfier posted a nice ambient mix from Donato Dozzy recently, called Nautical Drones. Which he dedicates to Circe. Hmmmm-respekt!
