* The Barcelona-based superyacht marina named Best Marina & Port in the 2016 Architizer A+ Awards
Barcelona-based superyacht marina, OneOcean Port Vell, has been named ‘Best Marina & Port’ in the fourth annual Architizer A+ Awards.
Organised by one of the largest communities of architects globally, the awards pay tribute to the creative minds behind innovative structures, celebrating the year’s most acclaimed architecture and championing the impact on everyday life.
Following a multimillion-pound overhaul, OneOcean Port Vell reopened in 2015 for superyachts of up to 190m. It is said to be the only European superyacht marina of its scale to be located so centrally within a city.
A collaboration between architects Sergi Carulla and Oscar Blasco (SCOB) and landscapers, OneOcean Port Vell has focused on excellence in both construction and design since its outset.
The two over-water buildings and 16,000sq m of landscaped docks that form the marina are integrated into their landscape, set between the industrial port and old town of Barcelona.
