The Aqua building in Chicago, Illinois was designed so the balconies appear on the building simulate the connection the building has between the sky and the water. They are formatted so they appear as waves where there are flat parts that allow the sky to appear. Using the glass to capture the refection around it, Gang Architects pull together both the sky and the ocean in one building by detailing the balconies on the facade. The balconies are attached so they look like they are just attached rather then apart of the building to help simulate the movement in the ocean.
