CONCEPT

Initial massing Addition and Subtraction

The site boundar y is divided as per the Local Building Regulations and a huge mass is raised The front elevation of the building is projected on three levels, slightly increasing in the
to provide visual accessibility towards the beach on the eastern side through neighbouring ascending floors to create cantilvered projections. On the uppermost level, the massing is
buildings. The Massing is then subtracted with symmetr y to provide pockets for Balconies further subtracted to create open spaces for recreational activities like movies and swimming.
