This biomimetic observation deck draws inspiration from the octopus, featuring six tentacle-like masts that support a suspended central platform. Each mast transitions from a curved triangular truss to a slender steel spine with tension cables, retaining an organic, skeletal form. Positioned on a steep slope, the structure hovers above a water body, forming a shaded, pavilion-like space beneath. The design merges natural geometry with engineered lightness, offering visitors an elevated, immersive experience in the landscape.
