floating structure architecture design

AAAI is one of the larger and more diverse architectural practices. Our services extend from programming and masterplanning phases through all portions of design, interior design, construction, and post-occupancy analysis. AAAI has the commitment, creativity, and expertise to ensure every project's successful completion.

While the mainstay of our business is larger projects AAAI has always welcomed opportunities to design custom private residences. In the early 80's we were fortunate to be involved with the first strata titled floating home community in Canada - Canoe Pass, a development of 43 homes developed by IMF. Since that time we have completed over 40 floating homes, and a half a dozen floating commercial structures. All have incorporated the floating technology developed by IMF.

We have many designs for float homes available, or would be pleased to work with you on a custom design.
