The design of this project pulls inspiration from the natural landscape and the Japanese cultural ties to water, free form, and framed views. The intentions behind the material choices and interior design composition looks to merge traditional Japanese elements with modern design, using sleek materials like steel and glass to create a light and airy ambiance. Through great emphasis on sustainability and self sufficiency, the design has been crafted through a lens of new technologies and innovative solutions.

Sarah Alturkait + Carolina Barberi
Located in some of the most inadequate and tropical urban cities in the world, the tropical floating house would become an added beacon and speciality of equatorial cities. It is inhabitants of the tropics who will feel the effects the soonest, and who will suffer the most by the phenomena of climate change. The floating boat house would not only be a solution to flooding and urbanization, affordable, and an added cultural aspect, but will be designed as a modular unit that can be easily transformed, transported, assembled, and adjusted. Maximizing efficiency, a stacked, modular design would allow user adaptation due to flexible spaces. Resultantly, the project itself ranges from small, individual units to urban scale. This resilient and timeless design would adjust to not only todays’, but the future of climate change and environmental obstacles.
