Partners: RS-architecture, Stanislao Cantiello.

Landscape and Architecture are inseparable in the beautiful and fascinating Syracuse. The relationships that unite them are reflected in the design choices of the new "Lighthouse Sea Hotel-Resort". Masse, materiality, perspectives studied towards a spectacular landscape, where the old Lighthouse of Capo Murro di Porco dominates the scene, it stands on the cliff in front of a deep blue sea; where the roughness of a jagged ground, rocky and rippled with flashes from the typical Mediterranean vegetation, they paint a perfect and incomparable scenery. Hence, the new architecture of the touristic building frames this place, emphasizing all its infinite beauty and makes the landscape looks like painted on canvas.
