My structure, composing of 4 ‘blocks’ on a floating platform, provides ‘micro-homes’, a store and a museum.

The first constitutes of a general store, plus restaurant.
The second and third are residential, containing two ‘micro-homes’ each.

The fourth houses the Puget Sound Museum (American Indians, Europeans’ arrival, environmental awareness, shipping, the ex-Army fort.) Marine creatures viewed through glass floor. Includes ferry stop.

Supported by pontoons. Alloys, glass make up its structure. Energy collected from seawater - salt conducts energy.

I designed it this way because it’s 'green', hi-tech, serves the historical and functional needs of the community, and I like it!
