Danish maritime architecture studio MAST, in collaboration with BIK Bouw, has conceived a floating community at Rotterdam’s Spoorweghaven dock, aiming to tackle the Netherlands' significant housing crisis by constructing nearly one million new homes by 2030. This mixed-use development includes over 100 apartments, public amenities, and is strategically designed to connect to existing cycling networks. Incorporating eco-friendly elements like floating reedbeds, the project emphasizes sustainability and resilience, positioning floating communities as viable solutions for dense urban environments and a promising transformation of living spaces in Rotterdam.
Danish architecture studio MAST proposes a floating community in Rotterdam, addressing housing shortages with adaptable, modular structures on water, aimed for completion by 2030.
The project at Spoorweghaven includes over 100 apartments and public spaces, creating a mixed-use neighborhood that connects to Rotterdam's cycling network and enhances water transport.
Floating communities are presented as resilient alternatives to conventional land reclamation, with the potential to revolutionize urban living in response to the Netherlands' housing crisis.
Integrating ecological elements, the design includes floating reedbeds that filter water and enhance local biodiversity, marking a progressive step towards sustainable urban development.
