CONCEPTUAL APPROACH The idea of simplicity and privacy in the muslim religion is the inspiration for the Minimalist Float Home. Incorporating geometry, exposed natural materials and considered placement of large windows for natural light enhance the interior and architectural features and connect the outdoor environment to the float home. Architectural elements divide up the space to allow for private areas while providing an open layout for public and family oriented functions. A colour scheme of white, maple and brass from the exterior through to the interior finishes keep the design simplistic and refreshing.
