Utopia of the Sea
The project is a commercial endeavor where maintaining cost was crucial. However, an ideal proposal that balances economic considerations and embraces the open seascape, lightweight structure, and rustic beauty was realized. The design involved modifying an approximately 100 square meters indoor area by removing a partition wall to capture an invaluable view. The entrance features a raised platform with a wash and sand function. It's connected by stairs to different bedrooms and the entryway, leading to a semi-outdoor Jacuzzi on the balcony, which forms the core of the design.
