BACA architects | Building In, On, Near and Under Water

At BACA we design resilient, low-carbon communities that live in harmony with water. Our mission is to transform flood risk into opportunity, design architecture that protects people, enhances landscapes, and restores ecological balance. We deliver solutions that adapt to a changing climate through innovation and collaboration, while shaping places of beauty, sustainability, and lasting value.

F.L.O.A.T

F.L.O.A.T. is an Anglo-Dutch collaboration pioneering large-scale, sea-worthy floating architecture and infrastructure. Using our innovative Square Floating City (SFC) modular system, we design and build sustainable solutions that adapt to the challenges of urban growth and rising sea levels. Current priority projects include floating housing and student accommodation, as well as the development of future floating airports.

Coming Soon.

We design in, on, near and under water.
