Short description Oceans Four development:

Architects were inspired by existing elements of the surrounding, thus creating a mixture between neighborhood apartments, the green protected area and the sea.

The basic idea was creating through the concept of a wave, visible differentiation between 4 towers with the same height.

Therefore two different structures are used that vary on each tower. The lower parts is based on the shape of a rectangle, with external asymmetric balconies, whereas the highest floors contain perimeter balconies that give spectacular views.

In order to avoid the effect of mass wall, we use Chameleon panels on the visible façade from the main street. Their color varies together with point of observation.
