We named this building “Eau” because it was originally inspired by the character of the water, especially its waves and reflectivity of water. Waves that was created on the surface of the water is always never the same. In addition, water also reflect the objects from its surrounding so it become not dominant thing but has its own charm. Both of these points are very interesting and inspiring for our team to design the form of Eau Building. In the other hand, HMP Architects explored other character of water which can lower the temperature. So the design team applied it character to this building with cool color of reflective façade that can make a different facade among others.
