Going Like Sixty

Will future kazillionaires have the guts to give up the mega-yacht and instead go for a movable island? The “Mermaid” by Julien de Smedt Architects is a proposed private development that amounts to a total community. For the richies, the luxury accommodations and accouterments would be unmatched. Having an island would allow the kazillionaire to provide housing for staff that would be completely insulated. The ‘Mermaid’ even features a dolphinarium, where dolphins can gather in the cave-like structure.  By using the previously mentioned method to shape the island, the optimal combination of views and internal relations between the main programs is achieved: from outside the hills there are views to both the horizon
and to the other hills, while the caves offer views to the horizon, through the façade, and to the indoor saltwater basins.
