Design Philosophy
This project recalls the Maritime tradition of the land. The fabric of the project has been brought into intimate contact with the water. As the flow of volumes are as fluid as water, so do the roofs of the waves. The development of volumes has been articulated to allow for a visual transparency indicating the beginning of a tradition of bringing the city, and its people, back to the water. The philosophy of visual transparency has been carried through the project itself by the creation of positive and negative volumes. The residential component has been developed by creating a vocabulary which is systematic in its parts yet unique as a whole.
