The floating homes are linked to each other by floating jetties. The staggered layout provides open view across the water on the hand and creates protected intermediate zones that can be used as marinas or floating gardens on the other. Links to the existing waterfront need only be made at certains points. This means that the water's edge can remain in it's natural state.
The basic structure of the individual floating homes consists of a steel skeleton construction with planking on both sides. The wall and ceiling constructions are vapour-perneable. The outer shell is made either of glass-fibre reinforced plastic as used in yacht buiding or aluminium sheeting with a seawater-resistant coating. The dimensions of the openings in the facade can be determined by the future user. This means that the post-beam construction is fitted with either lucent, translucent or opaque panels. Low-e glass with integrated sun slats is used for glazing. A reinforced concrete pontoon system as used in marina construction forms the floating base.
The floor plans can be altered and extended flexibly, making a wide range of utilisation variants possible.
The variable floor plan and a prefabricated modular design allow a maximum of flexibility, adaptation to changing life phases and the export of the floating homes all over the world.
