This project revitalizes Boris Chipan's iconic Youth Union Summer Retreat, transforming the mid-century modernist building into a vibrant Nautical Club. The design blends old and new, preserving key historical elements while introducing modern features like glass block walls. Two new cubic volumes are added, unified by a canopy that creates intimate, light-filled spaces. The design respects the heritage structure, fostering a seamless dialogue between past and present, and enhancing the visitor experience with a thoughtful balance of light, space, and history.
