Located in the Pacific Islands, Kauai (North West Coast on high tide line) this shelter is a still frame of nature.  This barreling wave provides a shelter on the beach from inside the ocean.  Giving an exhilarating gathering experience by becoming part of the ocean without even getting wet. The form of the structure intensifies the sounds of the ocean, as if standing inside of a seashell. The Wave is barreling in the same direction as the ocean providing a shield from the incoming tide.  But leaving you with the visual force of mother nature as it surrounds you.  At high tide, The Wave puts viewers in the front lines of the oceans rising water, as it slowly creeps up the front and sides with every crashing wave.
