Project Summary
The project is conceived around the idea of softening the boundary between the waterfront and everyday life, creating a gathering and relaxation space that integrates seamlessly with nature. While preserving the existing coastal character and traditional architectural identity, wooden platforms extend the living spaces toward the water, creating a new experiential layer between land and sea.
At the heart of the design is not merely a physical space, but the experience of spending time together. The outdoor dining area, fire-pit lounge, relaxation zones, and pier providing direct access to the water are brought together within a continuous open-air living environment that accommodates different activities and moments throughout the day.
Natural materials such as timber and stone, together with abundant vegetation, establish a strong connection with the surrounding landscape. Rather than functioning as a rigid boundary, the landscape becomes an organic threshold that both defines and connects different spaces. Changing daylight, the movement of the water, and warm ambient lighting after sunset continuously transform the atmosphere of the project.
Ultimately, the project is conceived not as an isolated structure added to the shoreline, but as an extension of the landscape—a contemporary waterfront experience where social interaction, relaxation, and connection with nature coexist.
