Marina Port Vell (MPV), situated in the fantastic yacht charter destination Barcelona in Spain, is destined to become one of the world’s most elite superyacht ports of call and, with phased marina completions throughout 2014, the prominent home port in the Mediterranean—is proud to announce the completion of its reception platform, the ratification of structural architectural plans and interior design as well as office accommodations for complementary businesses. MPV looks forward to creating its own nautical hub in this facility to complement that of the broader Barcelona Nautical Cluster.

Incorporating Catalan cultural accents with architecture and interior design by Sergi Carulla and Óscar Blasco (SCOB) and the crew area fashioned by Equipo Creativo, MPV’s Reception and Business Center is being built into the sea, incorporates sustainable practices and is 2750 square meters. The building lies on a fixed piled platform of 1,600 square meters. Designed specifically to handle weather conditions and to control light and interior temperature, it is cloaked in a white concrete skin designed exclusively for Marina Port Vell by Scob Architects and manufactured by Escofet, a traditional Catalonian company known for more than 100 years for its stunning architectural accents throughout Barcelona, including the Passeig de Gracia and les Rambles.
