The "Ephemeral Horizons" project in North Macedonia revitalizes a mid-century modernist structure, turning it into a vibrant Nautical Club. The design blends old and new by removing non-original elements and replacing brick walls with glass blocks, introducing a modern yet translucent aesthetic. Historical features are preserved through subtle details like distinct paving patterns. Two new cubic volumes are added, unified by a canopy that creates intimate spaces, enhancing the interplay of light and shadow, symbolizing the dialogue between the site's past and present.
