To create sustainable space for a future generation more
This project stands out as a clear attempt to use parametric design not just for form-making, but to generate spatial emotion. The circular shapes and “bubble” elements express an intention to soften architecture, to make it feel organic, welcoming, and human-centered.
Conceptual Narrative
The inspiration from octopus lines and biomorphic curves isn’t just decorative — it gives meaning to the geometry. In a world of empty forms, this has a reason to exist.
Balance of Privacy and Openness
The contrast between open spaces (bars, fountains, steps) and intimate zones (bubble seating) works well. It suggests the project is thinking not just about form, but about how people feel in the space.
Consistent Parametric Language
There’s a strong visual link between structure and furniture — both follow the same logic of layering, repetition, and curvature. That creates a coherent spatial identity instead of a collage of disconnected elements.
This project has soul — and that’s rare. Parametric design without soul is just math, but this feels emotional, soft, and spatially curious. With more development in lighting, material logic, and user-centered planning, this could easily become a place that people don’t just visit — they remember.
Lighting Strategy
The night render has atmosphere, but lacks intent. In a space focused on privacy and mood, lighting should guide experience — spotlights, ambient glow, internal illumination inside the bubbles. Right now, it’s too generic.
Material Expression
If you’re using wood, show more about how it’s assembled — joints, supports, weather resistance. Parametric design is strong when it’s grounded in material logic. It’s not enough to look good; it has to make sense physically.
User Flow & Plan Dynamics
While the visuals are strong, the master plan could do more to explain movement. How do people arrive, move, pause, interact? The project currently feels like a collection of beautiful objects — adding scenarios of use would bring it to life.
