More and more people are fascinated and inspired
by the idea of living on water. Modern
architecture is increasingly discovering this
original element as habitable space. “Floating
Homes”, the maritime construction project by
Hamburg-based architects “Förster + Trabitzsch”,
makes this new lifestyle possible as well as
enabling water to be experienced as living space.
The cubist buildings made of glass, steel and
wood, create transparency and link the water with
the living space occupied by its residents. The
modern architecture of the exterior shell is
consistently followed in the interior too. The
bathrooms are designed using the Axor Uno²
collection. The clear, geometric contours of the
fittings supplement and underline the simple
design language of the architecture.
