Designing the Future of Floating Leisure
Overview
Designing the Future of Floating Leisure – From Burj Al Arab Terrace to OCEAYA & Floating Wave Hamburg
Floating leisure architecture is transforming how cities, resorts, and developers expand onto water. In this webinar, Meyer Floating Solutions (MFS)—a global leader in floating architecture and engineering—shares the design, engineering, and construction insights behind some of today’s most innovative floating structures.
Attendees will learn how modularity, marine engineering, architectural creativity, and regulatory innovation come together to create the next generation of floating beach clubs, restaurants, surf parks, and wellness spaces.
Join us for three presentations featuring real-world projects and firsthand accounts from MFS’s lead designers and project engineers.

Introduction – Meyer Floating Solutions (MFS)
An overview of MFS’s approach to floating architecture, combining shipbuilding know-how with architectural design to create sustainable, modular, and relocatable water-based structures used from the Arctic to the tropics.
Case Study 1 – OCEAYA: Building a Floating Beach Club & Restaurant
Learn how OCEAYA was engineered as a modular, reconfigurable floating beach club and restaurant that can operate shore-connected or fully self-sufficient. This presentation covers development of modular pontoons, dual operational modes, collaboration with DNV creating a new “Floating Infrastructure Installation (FII)” classification, logistics and constructability and bridging hospitality design with offshore engineering
Case Study 2 – Floating Wave Hamburg: Surfing, Yoga & Dining on a Floating Pla
A behind-the-scenes look at the world’s first floating surf pool—combining dining, wellness, and recreation in a tidal waterfront zone. Topics include hybrid steel-and-timber floating structural design, combining land-based building codes with marine engineering rules, tidal performance & stability, prototyping and regulatory innovation, and redefining what can be built on water
