A design illustrating a community shared-use waterfront
Design Highlights:
- Background: Growing coastal community was struggling to accommodate waterfront demand
- Problem: Limited community-access to waterfront put public and commercial needs at odds
- Solution: Immerst recommended an outer perimeter float system to mitigate wave/fetch concerns, provide residential protection while providing large utility floats for transient and commercial marine use.
Additional Benefits:
- Utilized modular approach; recommended a compact ‘Pod’ system
- Anchors 7 units to one pod; enabled consolidation of plumbing, power and other systems infrastructure
- Easy to build and implement in unique space and under-utilized shore frontage area
