This beautiful sunset observatory is raised in the harbor of Songdo New City in Incheon, South Korea. Composed of five containers, this “OceanScope” is standing beautifully with three different angles of 10, 30, and 50 degrees. Since container shape is of cubical design, any attempt to flex the shape to make it visually flow and blend with nature are usually difficult, so the AnL Studio wanted to focus on the designing the containers themselves and to show others how the sturdy steel building blocks could be attractive as well. These recycled shipping containers were planted firmly on solid concrete foundation and were installed with metal stairs. The beach visitor can walk inside and see three distinct views in every container with different angle. The cuts along the walls serve as viewing windows. + AnL Studio
