Floating Slabs

An interplay of alternating horizontal slabs is anchored to a vertical wall that merges seamlessly with the adjacent structures, rising from a base that emerges organically from the ground. These horizontal planes craft a façade of dynamic inclinations, where the parapets dance in rhythm, accentuating a sense of perpetual motion and a poetic dialogue between light and shadow.

The shifting angles of the parapets catch the light in ever-changing ways—sometimes illuminated, sometimes shrouded in shadow—creating a rich tapestry of complexity and texture. This delicate choreography transforms the façade into a living surface, imbued with a micro-scale vibrancy that evolves throughout the day, while introducing an elegant tension between verticality and movement.

The cascading inclinations imbue the building with a kinetic grace, as its contours appear to glide across the façade, echoing the fluidity of the sea breeze. These floating elements invite the wind to flow freely between them, deepening the building’s connection to the coastal horizon. Anchoring this ethereal composition is the vertical wall, a steadfast spine that grounds the structure to the earth and traverses its façades as a bold, tactile gesture of architectural intent.
