A place to experience new forms of leisure, highlighting the power of the environment
This project goes back to its origin, looking for the first drop that fell on a horizontal level of water, altering its serenity.
Synthesizing the movements and waves caused by the primitive drop on a horizontal plane, this project studies waves, lines, masses, gaps and volumes, and serves as an element that questions space.
- Open - Closed
- Inside - Outside
- Still - In action
The graphic of E. Chillida's hands helps to understand the gravitation between emptiness and fullness, being able to articulate the elements by their tension and materiality.
Therefore, this project is developed in 3 different volumes that will be connected by the lower level, where there is a social enclave with an entrance open to the public, offices, a viewing restaurant with a mooring area for boats and a meditation well that is around it but below the water level.
The entrance to this complex is hidden.
