The project consists
of 6 m large strips of single houses on 2 floors. Within this module there
are proposed different spacial housing variations with the following dimensions:
6x6 m, 6x9 m, 6x12 m, 6x15 m.
The housing strips and
the circulation system are structured by two different types of catwalks
for pedestrian and cyclable use, on two different levels. The first type
of catwalks is on a 3 m level, is 5 m large and crosses the various housing
rows. At the intersection of housing and catwalks there are spaces for
shops and other utilities and also vertical connections, i. e. stairs
and ramps, to the catwalks underneath. This lower catwalks are 1 m over
the water level, 3 m large and run parallel to the housing strips providing
the accessibility to the houses.
The houses and the relative catwalks are situated in between two channels:
the one facing the houses is navigable, while the other next to the catwalk
houses various floating public spaces, i. e. playgrounds with sports facilities,
gardens, squares with cafés, solariums, fragments of woods.

The circulation system
is made of catwalks on pilework at which are fixed the houses on floating
platforms.
At the intersection of the settlement and the mainland there is an interchange
knot between carriageable and pedestrian/cyclable circulation. A building
crossed by the access street forms the fix head of the settlement and
houses parking, bus stops, some shops and offices. The higher catwalks
on 3 m level that cross the settlement start from this fix head structure.
The settlement can be formed progressively: the floating houses and open
spaces can install and modify in autonomous times and modalities. The
number of houses changes in relation to the used modules, allowing to
support different densities.
