About Discussions Projects13 Journals80 Publications2

Coastal living places architecture in direct contact with water, weather and shifting shorelines. Designers working on these sites must account for wind, humidity, flooding risk, erosion and the strong relationship between interior space and the landscape beyond.

Member work under this topic ranges from beach houses on sloped tropical terrain and waterfront residences in Tasmania to floating and mobile structures, a marine ranch and a cultural center. Together these projects examine how buildings can elevate, adapt, or move with the coast rather than resist it.

The "Afloatopolis" is a project in which an architectural existence is emphasized again, but in doing so, it is reinterpreted without losing the public values.

The only permanent elements of the estate are bulwarks, which is also used as a breakwater. Each housing unit is situated on a frame with a float, which is an integral part of the 3D farm system.

VITANOVA

Shaped around landscape, open spaces, and togetherness, the project invites users into a calm holiday experience connected to nature. Fragmented volumes orient toward the sea, while the spaces between them allow movement, encounters, and pause. Architecture and landscape merge to create a slow, breathable spatial atmosphere.

Between Sky and Water

The structure of the oil rig as an industrial element is reimagined in the most aesthetical way being converted into a unique getaway oasis, museum and science centre between sky and water, where people can brake away from their everyday routine. The building is in the middle of nowhere yet surrounded with a sea full of life giving endless possibilites.
