ATOLLO is an island that emerges from the water as a kind of limestone boundary: an open and permeable top plate that delimits inside and outside.
The spherical shape is created by joining 40 identical parts produced by repeatedly cutting a stone cube with a robot-controlled wire cutting system. This operation involves separating and reconfiguring the material to mould and amplify the initial volume with a significant reduction in waste.
