What can a site on the sea inspire a design vision? We envision a wind kinetic tower, reflecting the sky and moving like the waves, a mirage-like structure that plays with perception.

On this reclaimed island, where cues from the site are hard to grasp, perhaps simplicity—a form reminiscent of a lighthouse—is the best way to evoke one’s imagination. A contemporary interpretation of a lighthouse, this tower offers a sense of direction and identity to the island.

Everyone who encounters it will interpret it in their own way, much like the sea itself. Positioned at the center, this sculpture becomes a backdrop to daily life, an iconic landmark that romanticizes the island life.
