The brief called for a lookout tower in the mangrove forest development for eco-tourism in Port Klang, Malaysia. Being the tallest structure among the sea of mangrove trees, the lookout tower is envisaged as a series of the balcony that resembles the experience like wildlife being at different mangrove forest altitude, and it is also the house of the dusky leaf monkey that enjoys living higher up on denser trees. The upper part of the tower models a moonlike cocoon with the local timber tectonic.
