Escaping the daily grind of city life is a common desire amongst urban consumers, which is something the 'Casa Flotante' dwelling aims to help support. Situated in Mexico City, the floating house features a statuesque design that stands tall above the forest floor and offers inhabitants with everything they need to live comfortably. This includes a kitchenette, music area, spacious bedroom, bathroom and ample outdoor living space, which are all spread out across three levels. All areas are accessible via an exterior staircase that wraps around the entirety of the structure.
The 'Casa Flotante' is the design work of Talleresque and acts as an escape from urban life that will call to mind treehouses for children to give adults a place to rekindle their interest in simple activities.
