The Citadel – Floating Apartments in Europe 

When it comes to architecture’s creativity and design, fighting against the unstable tides could be inspiring sometimes. Now, rather than fight the water infiltrating their land, the Dutch will use it as part of a new development called ‘New Water‘ — designed by Koen Olthuis of Water Studio. The Citadel is a water breaking energy efficient new project that features 60 luxury apartments, a car park, a floating road to access the complex as well as boat docks. It looks great from above and has what it takes to cause serious head turns and consider moving in. Sold! – via

    [...] Cuando se trata de la creatividad en la arquitectura y el diseño, la lucha contra la inestabilidad de las mareas podría inspirar a veces. Ahora, en lugar de luchar contra la infiltración del agua a sus tierras, los holandeses lo van a utilizar como parte de un nuevo desarrollo llamado “Agua Nueva” – diseñado por Koen Olthuis de agua Studio. La Ciudadela es una ruptura de energía eficiente del agua, un nuevo proyecto que cuenta con 60 apartamentos de lujo, un aparcamiento, una carretera flotante para acceder al complejo, así como muelles de barco.
