Flamingos Residential Area
Flamingos Residential Area is one of the most appreciated and iconic tourist destinations in the Mediterranean, but it has a severely limited seasonal economy. The previous study of the territory and the landscape diagnosis that we have carried out guided our design lines to change things. The core of the master plan is to rejuvenate the beaches and create a main street that houses a dynamic commercial hub throughout the year.
A newly formed town square will bring the city center to life and provide space for the enjoyment of public space and community events. Road traffic will be removed and streets will be redefined to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists. The master plan also acknowledges that the beach itself, famous for being the sunniest saltwater beach in the province, is threatened by erosion and needs to be preserved. The town and the beach are symbiotic, and the master plan ensures that both thrive.
The transformation of a 200 Ha enclave into an active high standing resort led the promoters to contact IAL to develop the thematic master planning they were looking for. We have created an imagined story for Flamingos Residential Area, creating a strong connection to the surrounding agricultural landscape. Its heritage look and style is inspired by the towns that dot the region.
The plan for this charming town centers on a shopping center that will be the main destination, attracting both residents and visitors. Recreational facilities will serve advanced entertainment and a redevelopment strategy will revitalize the existing residential fabric, adding 300 new residences. Open spaces, parks, gardens, and trails are designed to encourage mixing and socialization.
