Skyboat Cafe and WalkOn Glass is Golden Design Award winner in 2021 - 2022 Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award Category.
Skyboat Cafe and WalkOn Glass

The structure cantilevers 36m over the 613m deep sinkhole. The top of the sinkhole is extremely narrow which can only accommodate a small passageway. Skyboat is proposed to span over the passageway and cantilever out to each side of the mountain ridge. Similar to the tumbler toys, it is proposed to lower the structure centre of gravity and utilize the minimum area (10metres by 30metres), in which way, the self-balance of the structure is therefore achieved.
