Atoll Floating Islands

A joint venture between Palmerstone and Donald Starkey Designs has unveiled the ‘Ome, a floating home on a monocoque type structure, which is designed to be manouvered between Dubai’s coast and The World islands 

 

The ‘Ome will also include photovoltaic cells on its roof, which will enable the property to be completely self powered. Atoll estimates that each ‘Ome would be capable of producing enough energy to power six large households, approximately 30,000 kW of renewable energy
