The project consists of five floating towers. When they come together, they form a nomadic archipelago — a moving community that connects the urban route with the life of a bird colony.

CITADEL

The most inviting structure of them all. Rainwater collects in the tower's open «palm», slowly forming a tranquil reservoir that mirrors the sky.

WANDERER

A wanderer pausing for a fleeting moment, breath catching, before continuing the endless journey.

KNIGHT

Poised and resolute, like a knight drawing breath before a charge. It stands sentinelle on the threshold between the visible and the unseen, a vigilant watchtower against the unknown.

WORSHIPPER

The tower leans slightly forward, as if bowing in quiet prayer.

GOLEM

A colossal guardian rising from the water, eternally protecting the island. In storm and fog, it stands as a landmark for birds — a silent lighthouse for wayward sailors.
