Extending the waterfront development theme explored in Bridge over……is that really a bridge? and Luxury Waterfront Developments I take a snapshot at the interface between water, shoreline and built form.
Often some of the most memorable settings in a development are found at this juncture. They take their form as a functional boardwalk, jetty, dock, esplanade, promenade, wharf or pier.
However, when designed well they can become a destination, even art, in their own right amplifying the amenity of the star attraction – water.
Higher levels of amenity typically translate into higher value for developments that directly benefit – so there is often a case to invest a little imagination and some additional funds to get it looking spectacular !
