Columnating is a scenic overlook pavilion located along a highway by the ocean. The site, consisting of three parts, unifies the viewing pavilion, parking lot, and lawn into a single territory by introducing a curved concrete retaining wall. The height of the retaining wall gradually increases from east to west, reminiscent of large land art that interacts with the terrain.

The oceanfront pavilion inherits the existing structural grid and expands it toward the south. The existing column grids provide a basic rhythm for positioning the new matrix of columns in different scales: Small columns made out of steel, Medium concrete columns, Large columns as wall-bench, and an Extra-large column of a periscope tower. These substantial forms serve as outdoor furniture, providing tables and benches for visitors. The periscope tower pierces through the thin roof, allowing people to look upwards and see the reflection of distant landscapes.

The open plan under the aluminum-covered roof is free, allowing people to move freely and interact with each sculptural object. The ceiling features alternating fully reflective mirror surfaces and frosted stainless steel panels, casting dynamic light effects. Long tables provide shaded resting areas, allowing travelers to enjoy coastal views while immersed in the dialogue between architecture and nature.
