Fishbowl Apartments in Platja d'Aro (I)

The Fishbowl Apartments in Platja d'Aro offer a unique approach to sustainable housing by repurposing shipping containers into livable spaces. These containers, once used to transport goods across oceans, are transformed into modern apartments that prioritize both creativity and eco-friendliness. Each unit combines minimalist design with maritime-inspired elements, featuring clear fishbowl installations in the walls that mimic aquariums, adding a dynamic, underwater aesthetic that connects inhabitants with a sense of oceanic life.

The apartments are also designed to incorporate sustainable water management systems. Rooftops are equipped with rainwater collection mechanisms that filter and store water, visible to residents, fostering awareness of natural resources. This visible water collection encourages a connection with the natural environment, emphasizing the importance of sustainable living.

By reusing these durable containers, the Fishbowl Apartments avoid the environmental impact of new construction materials, reducing waste and energy consumption. This architectural approach combines functional, recycled materials with unique design elements that reflect the coastal culture of Platja d'Aro. The result is a compelling example of how creative repurposing can meet housing needs while promoting sustainability and offering a truly distinctive living experience.
