Time to change the tide.
Coastal cities are under pressure. Sea levels are rising, floodings and heatwaves are becoming more frequent, and land is running out. Without bold new thinking, the gap between what cities need and what the land can provide will only widen.

The solution
Resilient floating neighborhoods.
We turn unused urban waterfronts into thriving places where people feel at home, no matter how the tides change. Designed for real people, our floating neighborhoods accelerate urban development where land is scarce, delivering new residential real estate for all—from high-end to social housing.

How it works
An extension of your city
People-centered urban design
Low-rise architecture, green courtyards, designed to foster social cohesion and walkable streets make every neighborhood feel connected and livable. Surrounded by water, residents enjoy cooler temperatures, calming views, and a closer connection to nature.
Smart, integrated utilities
Beneath the surface, our floating platforms can host the urban infrastructure a future neighborhood needs – including water storage, clean water systems, advanced wastewater treatment, and integrated mobility hubs or community spaces — enabling a self-sufficient, efficient, and future-ready daily life.
Built for a sustainable future
Our neighborhoods are designed with respect for both community and urban life, as well as underwater ecosystems. The underwater platform can support local species: i.e. mussels, fish, and aquatic plants. Careful analysis of the local ecosystems ensures each site is chosen responsibly and trough continuous monitoring we strive to maintain a healthy and resilient aquatic environment.
