House On The Water / Formodesign
This self-sufficient house on the water is for nomadic life offshore. Designed as a rental house for people who want to feel independent. It is located by Navagio beach, NW coast of the Greek Zante island and its sun orientation was developed to maximize the use of solar energy. Strong decisions and consequence in driving its proportions guarantee the uniqueness of the design. The core, made of concrete, is combined with steel cantilever structures. Foundation for the house is a concrete counterweight foot stabilized with the sea bed pile system.
It is clear both from the inside and outside. Very light, designed to contrast with the location itself. The inner garden provides the “land factor”. Water floor is located in the long cantilever on the 2nd floor. The “white” look is achieved by the use of Corian. The floating deck, which rises with the water level thanks to the railing installed in the core structure, leads you to the stairway. 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.
