Maine Harbor Community

Shared-Use Waterfront Feasibility

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
