" Energy can be even more valuable when you share it ."
To i29 , architecture and interior designs are always intertwined and connected on each level to make a clear and unified experience . The floating home exterior design is the result of a space extensional study within the interior and vice versa . All areas are in open connection to the atrium which comprises three floors . The layout is extended with a split level connection to a loggia terrace just above water level . The interior and facade play with the views on the outside . Views appear and disappear while moving through the home . The basement offers direct water level views , the living room only gives a view on the surroundings when sitting in the lounge and the kitchen on the top floor has directed views towards the south and north side of the canal . On the top floor , a cut out of the roof enables a loggia and open terrace with a view towards the harbor in the west .
