The Avocet III
The Avocett III will be the latest vessel to join Baca’s flotilla of floating homes/aquatecture. Located on the Isle of Wight, the floating home builds on the Chichester design (2008) and now features 2 bedrooms plus a sleeping gallery. The sawtooth profile roof is designed to receive solar panels and is supported by a high thermal performance envelope. More images will follow shortly.
Due to its remote location, the base cannot be cast in one pour, unlike the Chichester. Therefore, the whole project and modular sizes are dictated by restricted access and what a small team of contractors can assemble by hand. Much of the build will take place on top of the floating platform once that element is built.
Construction drawings are underway, and the build will start in spring 2023.
