1This project is about "outdoors" lifestyles in the beach. It shows a simple organic composition: single-shaped oval elements. A "moving" space surrounds a big stone. It is placed on the sand, in front of the sea. The form relfects the atmospheric effects of the ocean and becomes bluish. Inside, the sunlight is filtered and touches the space. The centre of each guest-room captures a wide viewing angle, around 165 degrees. It is interesting how the lines go along the surfaces, giving the impression of an expanding morphology, somehow an "out of time", futurist form. The delicacy of the skin shows as well an artificial object, clearly detached from nature. It explores the idea of contrast and balance between an industrial object and its natural free environment.Blau Hotel,
