The building across the new inlet on the Rockaway peninsula acts as a surge barrier when the storms come. It will serve as the vital connections for the driving, biking as well as walking after the inlet is dredged out. The building has multi-level relationships with the sea as it is facing the inner bay area, the outer sea and the beaches around. Various possibilities of human activities will occur as the dwelling complex generates different interface with the water.
