The Green Carpet that connects the Harbour through the Door leads to a multitude of people-friendly venues. Tamar’s architecture demonstrates a passionate commitment to sustainable design, contributing to the concerted effort to bring back the Blue Sky. The essence of Tamar’s design is connectivity, both physically in terms of pedestrian movement and symbolically in terms of dialogue between different parties.
