Located on the Baltic coast, halfway between Stettino and the triple city of Gdynia-Sopot-Gdansk in the Polish Pomeranian region, the project "DUNE" is part of a large Master Plan, designed by the Polish studio SAS - Studio Architektoniczne Sietnicki, winner of the first prize at the prestigious "MIPIM Architectural Review Future Project Award" 2016 for the Renovating and Masterplanning category at Cannes.
The project aims at creating a new city of well-being and rest in Mielno, a very popular seaside resort in the region where the Dune City will develop, just north of Koszalin city and overlooking the Jamno Lake, as well as the sea.
A strategic and historically rich location have been chosen: after the dissolution the of Iron Curtain, the military settlements left space for a new civil development, as interesting several investors for the acquisition in the project of the Dune City, twenty years ago.
The Master Plan includes a series of hotels and apartments by the sea, a swimming pool, a large conference center, several shopping malls, wellness and spa areas, along with different facilities, equipped green spaces, parks and games for children.
All this is to be done on an area of about 40 hectares, along the Baltic Sea coast and the lake, for about 2.5 km. The development and construction are expected over the next fifteen years.
Among the buildings already under construction, the first of the hotels was built with the collaboration of different professionals coming from the hotellerie sector, with Alex Kloszewskim, a well-known manager with a great experience in the hotel industry in Poland.
The hotel consists of over 200 rooms, including hotel rooms, luxury apartments and suites. Each part is designed and organized to be autonomous, independent and fully equipped with every possible service: large living room, kitchenette, bathroom, bedrooms with large windows and terraces, externally covered with a clear natural stone that reflects and harmonizes the colors of the beach.
The façade are designed with prominent white stringcourses and large horizontal window with a bow style. The designers’ wish is to create a continuous relationship between the outdoors light and the interiors, making the structure by the sea as light as possible.
Eterno Ivica has contributed to the project by supplying his models of the range Pedestal SE3 and SE4, completed with vertical edge clips, in order to support the pedestrian covering of all the terraces, for a total area of over 1000 sqm. The pitch of the tiles is 60 x 60 cm, with the typical thickness of the outdoor self-supporting ceramics.
The technicality and flexibly of the Support Self-Leveling System SE, with up-and-over head, enabled a 3% self-compensation of the slope that naturally came out, while ensuring a quick and optimal pose and guaranteeing the final result.
