Instead of restoring the existing volume, the design project plans to drastically reduce it by making the hill, now completely hidden from view, reappear, an intervention where architecture dialogues, integrates, merges with the landscape:the main goal becomes the environmental recovery of Punta Meliso. Only the ground floor is used of the imposing volume of the Colony. The part of the main body facing the tourist residence is used to design a private beach, restaurant, a Museum of the Sea, outdoor cinema, a panoramic tower to see the sea and to access the hill behind.
