Project plans in the surrounding area

The project envisages restoring historic buildings on site, including an old sugar factory. Several uses are planned for former stone molasses tanks: a café, a restaurant or a grocery store selling produce from the farm. The stone molasses tanks and the old sugar factory give the plans a shared connection to the region’s former sugar industry. For those interested in architecture and local history, the industrial heritage is a distinct aspect alongside the landscape between the lagoon and mountains. The distinction between restoration and planned repurposing shapes the plans: historic buildings are to be restored, while specific new uses are envisaged for the tanks.

A palm-lined pedestrian avenue along a former irrigation canal is intended to serve as a central link for residents and visitors. A beach and boat club is also planned for residents of Anahita Beau Champ, offering experiences on the lagoon to the east. A boat park is planned for residents of the region. The intended users differ: the avenue is for residents and visitors, the club for residents of Anahita Beau Champ and the boat park for residents of the region.
