The Riviera Park

In 2020 the changes covered the first project part in the lower zone of the seafront. The key elements of the park are a wooden amphitheatre overlooking the sunset and combined with a 24-meter cascade staircase, the sites for workout and small architectural forms specially designed for the project.

The second part of the Riviera park project was opened in 2021. The project was aimed to transform the main entrance to the beach as well as the upper part of the seafront. The architects preserved the promenade zone, made provisions for clearing the space from kiosks and revived the public garden.

On the left from the main entrance in the shade of the trees a space was allocated for quiet recreation, which visitors had lacked so much. The new administrative building has all the necessary amenities for the beach visitors, including a mother and a child room.

To provide a shortest possible way from the park entrance to the paths down to the beach two new wide walking paths were created connecting the routes’ key points. A fountain with drinkable water was erected at the crossing point.

Winding paths leading to the different zones in the park spread from two main straight roads. Turning off the main path, one can have a rest in a quiet zone on the wooden podium erected around a cypress, enjoy the view of the olive tree in the shade or just chill out a bit on a bench surrounded by luxuriant vegetation.

The visual image of the whole seafront is predetermined by its functional content. At its basis we find natural materials (wood, cement, glass) and main colour shades, the contrasting combination of which highlights the unique nature of the territory.

According to plan, in 2022 the full redevelopment of the whole Riviera seafront territory is to be finished, including the embankment of the Sochi river, thus allowing to create a new circled walking route. The total improved area will cover 2.5 hectares.
