At Dongri Beach, I noticed how the tide changes everything. During low tide, large areas of the shore stretch out,revealing rocks, marine life, and patterns in the wet sand. People walk farther, boats rest on the ground, and the beach feels wide and open. At high tide, the water returns and covers much of what was visible, limiting movement and transforming the landscape completely. This pattern repeats and has a profound effect on those 

These daily shifts inspired a way of thinking about space that moves with the tide. The shelter reflects this rhythm through a balance of open and closed spaces,some dry and protected, others porous and open to flooding as the sea rises and falls. Just like the beach, the shelter changes throughout the day, offering different ways to use and experience its spaces.

Rather than resisting the tide, the shelter adapts to it. It becomes part of the tidal landscape, a structure shaped not only by the needs of its users but by the living cycles of the coast itself. Here, architecture is not fixed but responsive, allowing time, tide, and terrain to shape the rhythm of daily life.
