Problem we are solving
As the golden era of travel dawns upon us, with it shines light on the problems we face : loss of touch and loss of respect. In a post-pandemic world, fear of the other has emerged along with a need for distance. Can we respect the need for personal space, hygiene and access to nature? What if we can accept the seasonal need for isolation while also being open to meeting someone new? How can living with the ocean be intelligent, elegant, responsible & fun?

Casa Piña is a bespoke collection of self-sufficient hotel suites located on water, where guests come as strangers and leave as mates.

Our goal is to design & produce an exemplary cradle-to-cradle hotel collection that allows guests to experience aquatic living through connection and respect.

Sustainable Impact on Blue Ecconomy
It is an algae-based hotel using passive energy and includes an education program for guests and locals (training) so that this can scale as a new type of housing - on water.
