The Dream/Dive dock designed by Studio North is a hybrid outdoor platform that combines camping with outdoor water activities. The platform is simultaneously a constructed wooden edge that can be used to propel one's self into the water below as well as a covered outdoor sleeping area.
The wooden platform is located on the water's edge of Bob's Lake in Ontario, and its minimalistic design offers dual usage to wilderness enthusiasts. The dock is located on the edge of a small cliff that can be used as diving board for the waters below. In addition, the dock extends back onto the cliff with a covered roof area that fits sleeping bag. The area can be used as a temporary sleeping spot for campers.
