Waterlust
Concept
The World
Waterlust is an explorative experience, free of the limitations and stereotypes of permanently built locations. It is impromptu, but constantly engaged and committed to its surroundings.
Guests become participants to savor the world from a different (pliable) angle.
Guests become participants to savor the world from a different (pliable) angle.
Waterlust is not defined by a specific location. It is adaptable, flexible in size but most of all is unbound.
The idea stems from the fascination with floating markets and villages often found in south east Asia. The clusters of simple vessels provide an adaptable solution to support the specific needs of the location they cater to.
The streamlined, basic forms of the floating market vessels are blended with the iconic forms of the “Lateen sail” (or Lateen rig) and reinterpreted to create a contemporary floating unit with a unique eco-responsible point of view.
The floating units are grouped in clusters that similarly to the Asian floating markets are connected by floating platforms or catwalks and they feature compact but well-equipped interiors designed to enhance a connection with the outdoor setting.
