Los Pescadores Beach
The architectural proposal is based on two fundamental conceptual axes:
The first is the coastal axis, which divides the land from the sea and marks the edge of the continent. The second is the perpendicular axis, represented by the pier, which serves as a path for transitioning between land and sea, and vice versa.
The project is organized around these two axes. The overall program, which includes seafood and fish stalls as well as restaurants, is laid out along the axis parallel to the coast. This allows visitors and diners to comfortably enjoy the beach and the ocean via a boardwalk, while also giving fishermen a direct connection to the sales stalls for their catch.
The perpendicular axis connects the entrance to the pier, becoming the project's main circulation path, allowing easy access, understanding, and movement throughout the facilities.
Given its urban context, the project acts as a filter and threshold between the city and the sea. It welcomes locals, fishermen, partners, and tourists alike—pedestrians, cyclists, joggers, surfers, and even pelicans—creating a vibrant, dynamic interaction.
The project's sensitivity enables a wide range of activities in an organized environment that dignifies and highlights the pier’s traditional functions.
Boardwalk Termination / Landmark
Los Pescadores Beach is the last public space along the southern end of the Costa Verde, acting as the terminus of the boardwalk and the threshold to the Club Regatas Lima. As such, a compact and permeable project is proposed—one that integrates with the landscape, while also serving as a visual and functional landmark from both the Chorrillos boardwalk and the sea.
It is a contemporary yet representative design, easy to understand and connect with, meant to give users a sense of identity and belonging.
Spatial Relationships
The two perpendicular axes organize the program into four quadrants, allowing dedicated areas for each use while maintaining a controlled interrelation between them.
This way, fishermen interact with the seafood stalls, which in turn connect to the restaurants, which are adjacent to the beach and pier—spaces meant for visitors’ leisure. By proposing parallel piers, a closer relationship is established between visitors and fishermen.
Cultural Values / Identity
The cultural values of the fishermen are acknowledged and embraced in the proposal. One example is the Plaza San Pedro, located at the intersection of the project’s two main axes. It becomes a space for gathering, reverence, and farewell—where seafarers entrust themselves to their patron saint before heading out.
The project honors the site where the first fishermen of the region originally settled, which eventually gave rise to the district of Chorrillos. The proposal seeks to consolidate this location as an urban landmark, reinforcing its identity and historical significance.
Construction System / Architectural Language
The character of the project reflects the character of the place. A nautical/marine architectural language is proposed, incorporating elements “borrowed from boats or piers,” such as metal structures, masts, crossbeams, tension cables, wood decking, and more.
This approach ensures a clear reading of the project, easy public acceptance, and harmony with neighboring constructions.
The main metallic structure is coated with epoxy paint and clad with wood and fiberglass—materials common in pier and boat construction—allowing the use of traditional techniques, local materials, and local labor, while facilitating maintenance and reinforcing a sense of ownership.
The modular structure organizes the project’s functions and allows for a lightweight, efficient, and straightforward construction, with wide spans between supports.
Its transparent façades allow views of the sea from the boardwalk, and the scaled, lattice-like structure lets in natural light and ventilation.
Sustainability Criteria
The project respects the identity of the fishermen and their ties to the district of (San Pedro de) Chorrillos, as well as the needs and culture of all users, along with the expectations of the general public.
It proposes an open and inclusive space that everyone can claim as their own—contributing to social integration.
It respects and protects Pescadores Beach and the surrounding coastline. It does not pollute the air, sand, or ocean. It promotes environmental awareness and respect for nature—especially the sea.
The project uses efficient materials with recycled content, long life, low maintenance, and future reuse or recyclability. It incorporates traditional construction techniques using local resources and labor.
The project’s orientation is optimized for proper sunlight exposure in different program areas, while also responding to its relationship with the sea and surrounding urban context.
It maximizes natural light and ventilation through a responsive skin that ensures comfortable indoor conditions with low energy use.
Finally, by designing parallel piers for visitors and fishermen, it minimizes interference with existing wave patterns, ensuring compatibility with surfing and other water sports practiced in the area.
