The subject is the design of a group of buildings with a total of 6000m2 while rethinking the port and facilities. Headquarters, maintenance facilities, workshops and storage areas determine the main components of the design. The open space, of 126000m2 in total, is split between customs and duty-free areas. The main visual characteristic of functions, such as entry and exit of goods, is a space filled with containers. The visual effect and strong image, created by these storage boxes that vary in color but are repetitive in a certain size and form, are highlighted in the headquarters building.
