"This floating cabin is located on a stationary pontoon along the Sava River in the Sava Shipyard, one of the most renowned shipyards in the region. Measuring eight-by-six meters, this compact yet thoughtfully designed structure maximizes every inch of space. It is an open-concept structure that is created for leisurely afternoons, weekend stays, and intimate gatherings for their family and friends. All elements of the design are meant to give the family a peaceful retreat and haven from the daily grind."
"The design is inspired by the riverside setting and the old shipyards in the area, paying tribute to the maritime heritage of the site. It uses a combination of wood and metal, giving off a textural contrast and adding to the charm of the cabin. You get deep greens to mirror the water hues and red accents as a nod to nautical navigation markers. This way, you have an honest, grounded aesthetic to mirror the landscape where the retreat stands on."
