New modular construction design called OASys (Ocean Architectural System) builds where others can’t.
Established naval architects, Stephens Waring Design, have developed a new modular constructed design concept called OASys (Ocean Architectural System), which may well be the answer for coastline developments that are required to address concerns as preservation of habitat, erosion and scarcity of buidable land.
The project is called IMMERST, and it’s a floating development suitable for hotels, resorts or residential homes. The modular design can cater to innumerable locations and lodging styles.
“We’ve applied our 40 years of custom yacht design and engineering experience to create a design-planning model built around the cutting edge of sustainability, renewable materials, and advanced manufacturing. While our designs are built for long-term operational success in some of the most challenging environments including oceans, lakes, rivers, and beaches, we’ve also created something that’s exciting, fun, and luxurious,” said lead designer Paul Waring.
Moving modular constructed IMMERST buildings onto the water not only provides solutions for land-based problems but is a system capable of connecting to the mainland utility grid for convenience and efficiency.
The concept is versatile for use as several single units or clustered larger units that can be anchored to docks or the ocean floor. They can be temporary or more permanent. This minimal site impact means the units won’t harm the ecology of the coastline soil or marine environment. It also provides for easy expansion or mobility to a new location if required.
In addition to easily transported and customisable designs, these resorts, homes and activities located on the water are naturally soothing. “When you walk onto an OASys (Ocean Architectural System) floating community, life is less complicated. You immediately forget about the pressures and the distractions that we all face because you’re surrounded by the environment and connected to the water’s edge,” said Waring.
In a press release, the company stated, “All OASys (Ocean Architectural System) designs are integrated into modular foundations, prefabricated through the firm’s network of builders/contractors or constructed onsite making fabrication and delivery viable for locations around the globe.”
