Atol Experimental Residence

Authors’ Comment

The subject is part of a series of projects that could fall under the category of "biomimetic architecture - nature as a source of inspiration".
The main objective was to give an answer to the non-conventional demands of a fictional character, but which could be found in a category of real subjects.
Anuarununga Atoll in French Polynesia, Pacific Ocean, is the location of this project, with residence as its function. Considering the integration of the biometric perspective in the basic principles, the four building units take the form of monarch butterfly eggs, anchored in the pontoon that imitates the silhouette of a lotus flower, extended through structural elements in the form of a frog skull.
