Project Description
It erupts, rises and folds into a series of trochoidal waves ready to engulf everything that comes its way. Viewed from above, it appears like a mythical creature born from the adjoining sea. While, from the ground, within its spaces, it appears to be in constant motion with its shifting perspectives. The eye doesn’t rest at a single point, with its multiple point of views and continuous movement spine, the architecture intends to blur the perceptible notions of its elements. The walls, floor plates and the roofs indulge in this fluid dialogue at various points that once rendered by the ever-changing play of light and shadows, it creates this tense, disruptive narrative for its users like a theatre where, motion is a constant and the pause is a search. The architecture thus, becomes a conduit, ensuring it's not a static structure but a lively inspiration for adventurers gearing up for water sports.
