"Sky Deltaport. A Floating Gateway to the Wadden Islands."
"Sky Deltaport. A Floating Gateway to the Wadden Islands."

When exploring the concept of floating airports, I was inspired to take on an independent unbuilt design project that would allow me to apply my skills and expertise as a young landscape designer and aspiring planner. Growing up in the Netherlands allowed me to observe floating developments early on and their role in alleviating challenges associated with rising sea levels. I was keen to now bring in my expertise to design a floating airport in the Netherlands, that would help address these issues.

The project site is the Markermeer lake north from Amsterdam and Volendam. The lake was chosen for its size (270 sq mi) to accommodate an airport and because this area experiences high sea tides. The aim of the design is to help alleviate the possible aggravation of the sea tides in creating floods and the air traffic in Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. In turn, the airport serves to provide a gateway to the Wadden Islands in northern Holland.
