In the silence of the Mediterranean, engineering meets the wind.
EOLMED represents the new frontier of clean energy: turbines dancing on water, supported by steel structures designed to defy waves and time.
A project bearing the signature of Stefano Residori, where technique becomes vision, and the sea becomes architecture.
Eighteen kilometers off the coast of Gruissan, EOLMED rises as the first industrial-scale French floating wind farm:
a system of three 10 MW Vestas turbines mounted on steel floating platforms, delivering a total capacity of 30 MW — enough clean energy to power more than 50,000 homes each year.
“A real-world laboratory for the future of European offshore wind.”
To design a structure combining stability, efficiency, and lightness.
The floating platforms — 45 meters long and 17 meters high, anchored at 60 meters depth — are powered by Damping Pool® technology, a system that dampens wave motion to ensure perfect balance even in extreme marine conditions.
A project that turns the strength of the wind into harmony with the sea.
In EOLMED, Stefano Residori oversaw the project coordination on behalf of Matière – MP ArchiMed, a member of the construction consortium.
Main areas of involvement:
“Every structure, whether a bridge or a platform, is a balance between strength and grace. The sea, more than anything else, forces you to respect that balance."
- Stefano Residori
Stefano’s design philosophy blends engineering rationality with aesthetic awareness, transforming steel into a poetic language even when it speaks with nature.
EOLMED stands as proof: an industrial challenge, an environmental symbol, and a new frontier for engineering.
