Ocean Gate, an observatory between beach and ocean

If you love architecture and, even more, rendering, Anti Reality is the Instagram profile for you. The creatives behind the account propose futuristic and sensational projects, sometimes impossible to realize, other times that, with a bit of imagination, could actually exist somewhere in the world. 
One of these is the project of the Ocean Gate, a structure that aims to be a real door that connects the earth, in this case, the beach, and the sea. 

Like all Anti Reality’s projects, this one, too, has a spectacular shape, which when viewed from above resembles a giant manta ray lying on the sand, but from the front it cannot help but make us think of a wave ready to break on the shore. 

The building, which would be accessed from the beach via a walkway and stairs, would act as an underwater observatory. In fact, once entered and descended below sea level, the Ocean Gate offers a corridor about 70 meters long completely glazed that allows visitors to walk among the various marine species that will approach the structure. 

But to enjoy an unprecedented spectacle, it is not necessary to enter the building. In fact, the part of the surface that comes out of the water is covered with aluminum tiles that resemble fish scales and allow the sky and the water to reflect in them: it will look like a huge sea creature is about to arrive on the shore.
