Westerpunt Observation / studio MOTO

Context - From the beginning, we were aware of the sensitive location, and the unique character of the place where many different elements come together. The sea with its tides, the beach, the dunes, and the promenade. Belgium and France. Birds and walkers. Water, sand, concrete, and nature. How can we bring all these elements together, and make them more tangible, without imposing them and without disturbing the place? We sought an experience that could be part of all these elements and become one with the place as if it had always been there. Permanent, anchored, yet free. Meaningful. The form we were looking for ultimately answers this question in all its aspects.
