The ocean - unmovable and endlessly moving at the same. The steady forces of the immense body of water, inexhaustible abundance and the dynamic strength of ocean waves are expressed in the architectural design.
The theme of water's irrepressible force comes most true in places where water hits on rocks, an eternal struggle, onslaught and resistance. Even wave after waves seems to yield it is eventually the stone that takes the shape of water. The architectural design leaves the beautiful ambiguity to the visitor to ponder over the question: what is the shape of the water and what the form of the rock?
