A new urban skyline along the waterfront
The Ancon Seaside Masterplan reimagines the relationship between the city and the coast by integrating housing, recreation, and public spaces in a sustainable way. The design respects the natural topography, minimizing the project’s impact on the hillside while prioritizing pedestrian mobility.
The project is structured on two levels: a promenade alongside the cliff and an upper boulevard. This design generates an experience of connection with the landscape. Additionally, it incorporates a yacht club and a marina that reinforce its maritime character.
