From the architect. Drijf in Lelystad consists of eight floating dwellings, for eight families

in Lelystad, the Netherlands. Having lived on water in their childhood, these families

always dreamt to live on water again.

The families united in a collective partnership called Drijf in Lelystad (Float in Lelystad)

and commissionedAttika Architektento design eight different but matching floating homes.

The municipality of Lelystad, a New Town in a polder 4,8 metres under sea level, provided

a water location by widening an existing ditch (poldersloot).

Since the families all had their own specific requirements and wishes, each dwelling got its

own characteristic size, colour and shape. Direct contact with the water was leading in

each design: unobstructed views, split level, abundant daylight, water reflections on walls

and ceilings, water terraces on different levels and direct access to the water.

The faade panels are composed of matching colours. The palette of colours let the

dwellings blend into the natural surroundings. All dwellings have two basic colours, thus

providing coherence. Colour accents, chosen by the owners, make one dwelling stand out

from the other, giving the homes their individual character.

The floating homes were built in Urk, 40 kilometres away from Lelystad. They were

constructed in timber frame on concrete caissons and towed over water to their

destination. The size of the narrowest lock determined the width of the houses: 6,9 meters.
