UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The interior space is an interplay of watery contours representing the pedestrian mobility. Water-curtained skylight dissolves sunlight into the main atrium of aqua-scape and grows the symbolic 'Tree of Light', which immersed into this underwater terrain in a feeling of energized focus and sway like enjoying the whole process of the aqua-flowing activity.
