Detail

Tilting white architectural feature on the towers curtain wall. This element should be designed to resemble the shape of a sail catching the wind. By positioning it at an angle or incorporating curves, you can create a dynamic and visually captivating effect.

By using white tiles on a vertical pipe duct, you can create the illusion of a mast. The vertical pipe duct can be strategically positioned to resemble the mast of a sailboat. This combination creates a distinctive and unique building façade that captures the essence of sailing.

The combination of the white color aluminum sun shading canopy and the timber-like aluminum handrail creates a harmonious and cohesive sailing atmosphere at the podium level. This design choice not only enhances the visual appeal of the space but also reinforces the overall sailing concept by incorporating key elements associated with sailboats and maritime environments.
