Aquatic Housing

Rockland, Maine

Located on the coast, the aquatic housing for apprentices shares many community spaces, the hall being an important one for gathering, potlucks, and meetings.

In the Northeast coast of Maine, the town of Rockland is home to the Apprenticeshop which specializes in sailboat commissions using hand built wood technology. Connecting the existing campus dock because of a need for student housing, the Aquatic Housing branches into the water by hovering on piers over the tidal flats. The community hall and dorm hall save on-land real estate for their direct facilities, treating the dock as an extension of their community that retains privacy and maximizes views. The users' experience of sailing and building vessels for the water is heightened by living on the water.
