Cape Royale's architecture draws inspiration from the world of the sea. The unique sculptural towers of 9 different heights are reminiscent of coral structures, which are strategically arranged on necklaces surrounding the landscape. In response to the concept of architecture, we created an organic landscape platform inspired by coral life. 2 species of corals are used as muses for landscape concepts.

Foam: A seeder that forms a giant foam shape around the bottom of each tower. Local foam corals are used as inspiration for the landscape. We loved the look of those beautiful creatures. They have some soft and comfortable appearance, but also protect their inhabitants. Just like bubble corals, these green areas act as buffer zones, protecting residential units from public access. The shape of the coral is fluid and represents the connectivity and growth of the property.
The Bubbles:Forming around the base of each tower are giant bubble-shape planters. The local bubble coral is used as the inspiration of the landscape. We love the look of those beautiful creatures. They has some soft and comfortable look, but, at the same time, protective of their inhabitants. Just like the Bubble Coral, these green areas act as a buffering zone, protecting the residential units from public pathways. The coral’s shape has fluidity character, and, yet, represents connectivity and growth of the property.
Even the entire landscape has a harmonic feel throughout the site. Each tower has its own unique semi-private garden. Depending on their location and available space, individual gardens range from picnic lawns to reflective sculpture ponds. Coral-style pavilions and sculptures are offered here and there to bring vitality to the inhabitants.

Coral-inspired pavilions and sculptures are offered here and there to animate the landscape, making it more lively for the residents.
Branching: Another local coral has also been transformed into a landscape concept. It is a branching coral. Unlike its soft bubbling neighbors, it inspires us, not space, but circulation. The main living corridor is located between each building and acts as a circular backbone for the dwelling. The surface of this area uses sand-like materials to remind nearby sandy beaches. A series of wooden passage systems were later added, connecting each tower to the main corridor. Together they form a good living network, which is what we need for a better residential project.
