Text description provided by architect.
Houseboat or house? It’s both. PORT X defies all notions of deeply rooted house or houseboat, as we know it.
Its elegant curves represent clean, timeless and functional design as well as unique harmony of modern hi-tech and natural materials.
Port X is composed of individual modules which are easily dismantable and thus always ready for a transport to a different location.
For some this can be a fine icing on the cake while for others it can become the main reason why to consider this unique concept. Where the placement of conventional buildings might be problematic, PORT X opens a whole new range of possible locations.
This concept also allows the building to grow according to the wishes of the owner – to change its structure and form to suit the needs of your company or family.
Your modern stylish dwelling can be easily moved from one place to another. PORT X will not tie you to one place, one view. On the contrary, it can follow you and your views and preferences.
"From the city straight to the slopes of the mountains, from the mountains back to the lowlands, to the picturesque village, on land or water - these will be your options from which you can choose whenever you want," explains Hana Otevřelová, the manager of the project.
Thanks to its unique composition, PORT X can grow with the needs of your family and turn from 4 module into 6 module in no time. Children need more space and/or independence?
It’s no problem to separate a room from your PORT X completely and let it become independent from the original dwelling – they can also easily extend their PORT X whenever they need more space. PORT X will always respect your current situation.
PORT X also represents an ideal solution for small and middle sized companies – it can serve as a creative space for everyday work or unique showroom to present unique products. Plus it will always follow them in their growing ambitions.
