House on the Water
Formodesign designs House on the Water, a self-sufficient house for
nomadic life offshore. Designed as a rental house for people who want
to be independent it’s available only through water. It is located by
Navagio beach, NW coast of the Greek Zante island.
The orientation was developed to maximize the use of
solar energy. Strong decisions and consequence in driving its
proportions guarantee the uniqueness of (formo)design. Dynamic and
simple form are the result of the yach architecture interpretation. The
core, made of concrete, is combined with steel cantilever structures.
Foundation for the house is a concrete counterweight foot stabilizet
with the sea bed pile system.The floating deck, which rises with the
water level thanks to the railing installed in the core structure,
leads you to the stairway. The top deck is available for the residents
as well.
Eco-friendly features like the water desalination,
energy accumulation, ventilation methods, water recycling, heat and
energy consumption, tidal and solar energy systems are all there. HotW
was designed to be sustainable. It is not only the installations, but
it’s form and orientation. Vertical lines on the facade are the rails
for computer driven shading system.
