Our design philosophy focuses on protecting the coastline and enhancing its beauty.Inspired by ocean waves, our building features a concave facade facing the sea.The sloped design prevent sediment and marine life from getting trapped,reducing stranding and wave impact.Wide grooves minimize erosion and prevent marine life from stranding.We use conical structures instead of unsightly wave breakers,extending to the shoreline and providing habitats for marine organism.This design offers a sustainable solution to coastline erosion.
