Huge gravel ocean marine park

Inspired by honed pebbles by thousands of years of sea waves in Batumi, the Russian oceanographic park promises to become a new symbol of architecture.

Architecture firm Henning Larsen won the competition to design for the marine park of Batumi, one of the most important Soviet port cities.

Inspired by the thousands of years of sea-going pebbles in Batumi, the 2,000-square-meter new park will replace the old marine park.

Observe from a distance, the park shimmering at night.

Consisting of four independent exhibition areas, this building can be viewed from afar on both land and sea. Batumi Park promises to become a symbol of architecture for oceanographic parks around the world.

Here, visitors can learn more about fish species in different seas around the world with visual observation. Besides, the central area is also a place to sell coffee and very attractive souvenir items.

The park is a population of pebbles.

In addition, the outer space of these 'large pebbles' is also an ideal place for fun, entertainment and outdoor learning activities.

While developing architecture and promoting tourism, being a miniature part of the ocean, this new park will be a big step for Batumi.

Director of Design and Cooperation, Louis Becker also added: 'This place will really become a home for marine species. With conditions very close to nature, this park will be a miniature part of the ocean. '
