Emphasizing aquatic architectural details, MICROGROVE integrates water-resistant materials, ensuring longevity in a brackish, tidal environment. Porous gangways allow water and light to pass through, reducing impact on marine ecosystems while providing safe elevated access. Storage spaces and building systems are integrated under the deck of the cabin (the hull) and in the thickened dome ceiling space above the kitchen. The doors, windows, structure, and machinery are inspired by the forms of aquatic vessels, referencing submarine doors, portholes, deck planks, ship netting, and sail rigging.
