The Europan_X examines the ways of extending the urban fabric beyond the coastline. The Europan_X consists of an assemblage of intertwining bands.

Car and tramway paths overlap to create a unified passageway that is linked to the existing rail network. The goal is to create a connection with the rest of the city.

These band are clad with double skin layers which function is to shelter the faux balconies, and maximize insulation levels of the lower parts of the building.

The skin is cellular in structure to support the floor slabs. Its structural and load-bearing features enable the formation of large common spaces within the building's volume.

Programmatically, the facilities are distributed uniformly along the length of the structure, with sporadic interruptions in form of large public areas.

The public row, closer to the city, is designed to serve as a mediator and a link between the new structure and the city. The private row is closer to the water so that it provides best views of the surroundings and a more intimate environment for the inhabitants.
