A. Cave structure
The structure of the cave consists of wooden beams to give a certain shape in the first place. When the beams are set, a layer of corrugated steel sheets comes on top of it, covering the empty spaces between the beams. At this point the beams together with the steel sheets will work as a shuttering. Last step is pouring the concrete to make a strong stable structure to carry to weight of the projects above, such as EZ RDM, the Cave and Open House.
B. Energy generating platform
The platform carries all the weight of the whole island. The system used on this platform supports the sustainable idea of the Learn and Play concept. The weight of the island is carried by many floating air columns. These columns make an up and down movement as the waves hits them, therefor generating energy.
C. Spaces for trees or staircases for the project Open House
These spaces created above the "columns" provide an ideal space to plant trees so that the roots have enough space to grow. However, some of these spaces will be used by the project Open House, which is on top of it. In these cases, these spaces will be used as some kind of staircases.
D. Park structure
E. Paving
Since this project is about landscaping and providing accessability and routings to other projects, using piezoelectricity underneath the pavement is a must have. This also supports the concept of Learn and Play.

F. Stone walls
The stone walls have a natural look, inspired by the concept of the island (see styling). To achieve this look, the walls are decorated with cultured stones. These stones are put on concrete walls with metal lath sheets and mortar as connecting material.
G. Wooden deck
