PietriArchitectes have designed the Harbour Master’s office, at a marina in La Londe-les-Maures, France. The form of the building is reminiscent of a cruise ship or ferry boat.

The architectural proposal is simple, in the continuity of the agency’s work: sleek shapes, softened angles and materials nobles such as wood and stainless steel in reference to the world sailor, always avoiding the metaphor of the boat .
