The knowledge of construction techniques acquired by this architect and its marked interest in environmental architecture gave rise to the concept of a 'land-based port' in which the jetty consists of a compacted embankment on trees cut down and used to construct fascines. The 'boats' are metal-framed buildings on piles, 'moored' to the jetty by an access walkway. Ten buildings house cutting edge enterprises and a business incubator, offering a new way of working at one with a magical setting. The water from the roofs returns immediately to the biotope, the leaves of the conserved trees screen the facades surrounded by sheltered access gangways.
