About Discussions Projects7 Journals3

Offshore design encompasses architectural interventions in marine and oceanic contexts, from floating structures to adaptive reuse of existing infrastructure. This topic addresses the unique challenges of designing for water-based environments, including environmental resilience, material durability, and spatial innovation.

The community explores floating architecture, island interventions, and the repurposing of defunct offshore installations into habitable or functional spaces. Projects range from conceptual floating islands and adaptive maritime design to salvage-based architecture that transforms abandoned ocean infrastructure.

VALHALLA

This project, redefines the use of oil rigs, and provides a solution as to how they should be treated in the future.

ArchiPelago - The sea satellite

ArchiPelago is a revitalized oil station recontextualizing the idea how abandoned industrial constructions in the middle of the sea can be reused. It offers new dimensions that emerge from the metaphors of water and introduces contemporary/sustainable design ideas to combine multi-purpose functions in offshore conditions .

Charlie and Adam

Proximity Island

Repurposing an oil rig to repent for its sins as a tool for ecocide by designing a modular city that helps users change their attitudes towards nature and the sea through art, learning, research and contemplation.

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.

The Hyper Armida

The first underwater art village

圆圆

Taken from the ocean and return from the ocean

Utilizing its unique geographical advantages and its affinity with surrounding marine life for many years, it will be endowed with more functions and transformed into a new bridge between nature and mankind that reversely supplies the ocean. Give mankind more to communicate with the ocean; to be friends with the ocean; to talk to nature.

DRIFT

Worlds apart, separated by translucent and ballasted membranes. Architecture unto water as a drifting entity of observation, meditation and inter-terrestrial connection. Architecture could be topical, above, below, or carried with the falling of waves. The eroded platform becomes the microcosm, adrift in the Adriatic, only kept near through the anchored Rig.
