Dongshan West Bay Resort transforms a fishing village pier into the island's first diving‑themed sanctuary, pioneering a tourism+sports model to diversify the local economy. Two L‑shaped plinths shelter a public courtyard, while 31 hotel suites frame the sunsetting sea above. The facade evokes the seascape: sea-cave arcades, a rippling diving tower, and a porthole oculus. A public boardwalk and cascading terraces open the waterfront to both guests and locals, challenging conventional privatization. More than a hotel, it redefines the coastline as a shared public interface between land and sea.
