TRAMPOLINO GRADO

The project developed by Architect & Friends primarily aims to bring swimming back to Grado. The new diving platform is part of a comprehensive concept. The virtual swimming lanes begin at the end of the pier and extend out into the open sea to the position where the old diving platform was located until 2012.

The lines of the swimming lanes that rise from the water shape the structure of the new tower and define various functions, such as the main platform, a high diving board, two lower diving boards, and seating areas.
The clean lines give the structure a sleek and lightweight appearance, reminiscent of the wild birds in the nearby lagoon, while simultaneously conveying the confidence of being a central gathering point for swimmers in the open sea. The entire construction adapts to the tides through a flexible system and can be pulled into the harbor for maintenance during the winter.
