Emerging from the littoral terrain like a tectonic outcrop rather than an imposed object, this project advances a singular proposition: that architecture can operate as topography, transforming built form into a performative extension of the coastal landscape. The star-shaped plan, inscribed into the sandy promontory, rejects vertical monumentality in favour of horizontal diffusion, thereby privileging continuity over contrast. Its timber-clad planes fold and taper into the earth, generating inhabitable voids that oscillate between enclosure and exposure, while vegetated courtyards carve luminous apertures within the mass. Such an approach exemplifies biomorphic abstraction, not as aesthetic mimicry but as environmental strategy: the building’s low profile mitigates wind impact, its earth-sheltered envelopes stabilise thermal fluctuations, and its radial geometry orchestrates multidirectional vistas towards sea and sky. Illustratively, the central concavity functions as both climatic moderator and social condenser, fostering communal convergence without forfeiting intimacy. As a case study in critical regionalism, the intervention synthesises material tactility, climatic intelligence, and geomorphological sensitivity; it neither dominates the shoreline nor recedes into invisibility, but establishes a calibrated reciprocity with its maritime context. Ultimately, the project posits a redefinition of monumentality: not as vertical assertion, but as immersive horizontality, wherein the building becomes a habitable landform—a star inscribed upon the earth, legible less as object than as ecological constellation.
