After 7 years our initial client returned to us with a request for a visionary 10 year master plan to develop a unique waterfront area with 2 existing jetty’s. The 2 current terminals caters to 3 passenger ferry lines with over 1,000,000 people passing through per season of 9 months per year. The master plan covers a 3 phase proposal for the jetty’s and pier for passengers and tourists. Our design approach found its base in various passengers flows and circulation with a huge requirement for organized parking for buses, rickshaw’s, two and four wheelers, including a proper drop off point.
The proposal covers operational and maintenance activities, servicing of passengers, ferries and boats and has an integrated emergency and safety plan.

The pier has a slipway at the far end (the left side) for boats to be taken out of the water for servicing. A central pathway on the pier will function as a promenade towards the jetty’s while creating access on either side to various tourist activities, which could comprise of a banquette lawn, a sea pool, a water sports club with access to the beach, pick-nick area and mini golf as well as a viewing tower and performance stage. Additional sanitary buildings are proposed such that passengers walking to the jetty keep a full sea view on either sides. A sea promenade is designed on the north side overlooking the current bay while the banquette lawns and sea pool are designed on the south to provide a sunset view. The current building will provide space for waiting passengers, VIP area, ATM and port officials.
