The facilities of this building include a living area, a swimming pool, and a fitness room. An open-plan arrangement with the inside out approach allows the nice ventilation and the quality of semi-outdoor space. A reflection pool helps create relaxing atmosphere and expand the vision and perception of the users. The characteristic of wooden stakes in the coastal area was employed to use as the landscape elements and columns in an interior space as well as pillars for the metal lattice covering the terrace. An interesting shape and form of the seashore plantation like mangroves was carefully selected to create a pattern of the carbon steel square tubes. This part of steel structure uses metal lattice to create a quality of transparency for the semi-outdoor area and transform it into a functional and interesting space. 005
