St. Petersburg, Florida is looking for a cool new design for their pier and BIG Architects is proposing a wild wave design. The wave offers a “beach” at the end of the pier for residents and visitors to enjoy the water, far from land. The 360 degree loop creates a fun focal point, while the rest of the design houses everything from shops, to a pool. St. Petersburg is considering a couple other designs but this one is really making waves.
