# 3D-Printed Low-Impact Floating Offices Enclaves are Floating Office Pods Stationed on a River By Elena Rahman | Published 2021-05-20 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-office-pods References: [monolightstudio](https://monolightstudio.com/enclaves-on-vistula-river-co-working-in-pandemic) The [floating office pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bora-boral) dubbed Enclaves are the brainchild of Agnieszka Bialek, a graduate of the [Academy of Fine Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sapling-spirits) in Krakow, Poland. The idea arises due to the pandemic's shifting working conditions that have contributed to remote working. These [co-working spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-studio1) are connected to the river bed and attached to one another in a modular design. As it is still in its conceptual phase, the possibility for 3D printing remains a viable option for this project. The materials used would be waterproof and recyclable to maintain sustainability. The goal is to decrease land footprints and offer a peaceful remote working environment. The Enclaves design contrasts the river dramatically with soft, curved edges and a contemporary look.
