Hello and congratulations on a really inspiring and well-thought-out project. I really enjoyed going through it! Overall, you’ve done a great job designing something that feels functional, inviting, and connected to its surroundings. It’s a calm and confident proposal, and I’d honestly love to visit a place like this. I found your idea of using the circular form to gently wrap around the marina both bold and sensitive at the same time. The way the structure blends into the landscape, especially with the green roof, feels like a natural extension of the site rather than something imposed on it.
While the overall spatial layout is clear, some of the internal functions, especially on the upper levels, could be more explicitly defined. If I had to suggest anything, maybe it would be to develop the materials and shading strategies just a bit more. For example, you’re already using wood and concrete really nicely, maybe playing a bit more with textures or how they react to light and time of day could elevate the experience even further. I’d also love to see how the roof becomes usable in practice, can people gather there? How do you deal with sun and rain?
