An exterior coastal precedent featuring large curved concrete barrel vaults and transparent arched facades designed for a passenger ferry terminal.
- What we like about this project
- The scale of the sweeping concrete vaults mirrors the nautical topography while framing open glazed ends toward the water.

- harbor
- Geometry
- Low-slung coastal structures featuring prominent curved barrel vaults and soaring glazed arched curtain walls facing the harbor.
- Facade system
- Full-height glazed curtain wall set within massive curved concrete structural arches.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete shell barrel vaults with structural steel curtain wall framing.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale public terminal buildings dwarfing docked passenger ferries and human activity.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight under a clear blue sky, casting crisp highlights and deep shadows across the terminal vaults.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, breezy, and open harbor atmosphere combining monumental concrete forms with functional transit elements.
- Environmental context
- Harbor waterfront setting with ferries docked in the foreground and forested hilly terrain behind the terminal.
- Spatial experience
- Open water foreground frames the passenger terminal structures, creating a dialogue between maritime transit and heavy curved architectural forms against green hills.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating arched portal geometries punctuated by docked ferries and framed by the natural horizon.
