A few years ago in Biarritz, in the South of France, the Center for the Ocean and Surfing (Cite de l'Ocean et du Surf) was opened by the famous American architect Stephen Hall in collaboration with Solange Fabian.

The building has an area of 3800sq.m constructed in accordance with the concept of "open-air" and "under water". It is made of concrete, wood, and glass.

The whole architecture of the building corresponds to the surrounding landscape - overflowing spaces, white "waves" of concrete, glass buildings, "stones", reflections of water and clouds. The base of the building is paved with a special cobblestone, through which the grass will grow, turning the Center of the Ocean and Surfing into a natural part of the Atlantic landscape.
