British eco-pioneer Rishi Sowa began constructing his first Spiral Island in 1998. He used around 250,000 plastic bottles to build a 66x54ft (20x16m) island which was located in a lagoon near Puerto Aventuras, on the Caribbean coast of Mexico.Unfortunately, it was completely destroyed by Hurricane Emily in 2005, but not discouraged, he decided to build a new one: Spiral Island II!

H2Office – a Compact, Versatile Floating Unit (20 pics)

Posted in Pictures 9 Mar 2010   / 2727 views

 

This floating unit is conceived to be a floating office but as it is flexible and you can configure it as you wish, it can also be used for other purposes: hotel room, storage space…

It features a couple of desks, a fold-out bed, a lounge, a kitchenette… and different options are offered. The $91,000 H2Office is designed to be put in a marina or a private waterway.

It’s not a bad idea but I think most of people will prefer to buy a boat!

The Floating Stadium of Singapore (10 pics)

Posted in Pictures 7 Dec 2009   / 5132 views
Known as The Float at Marina Bay (or Marina Bay Floating Platform), this floating stadium is the world's largest floating stage. It is located on the waters of the Marina Reservoir, in Marina Bay, Singapore.
Made entirely of steel, the floating platform measures 120 metres long and 83 metres wide. It can bear up to 1,070 tonnes, equivalent to the total weight of 9,000 people, 200 tonnes of stage props and three 30-tonne military vehicles. The gallery at the stadium has a seating capacity of 30,000 people.
The stage took 13 months to build, and by April 2007, the platform and seating gallery were completed.

I think it’s a great idea, but the grandstands seem to be quite far…
