The architectural team at the Schopfer firm has put together a luxury residence designed to offer consumers the experience to live out on the water with a home shaped like a sting ray. The dwelling is a two-storey location that floats overtop of the water with a triangular structural shape and an elongated dock joining the home to shore.
The home is fittingly called the 'Sting Ray' thanks to its shape and the sea creature's inspiration behind the architecture. The home opts for a sleek, modern and futuristic aesthetic that levitates above water as an unconventional way to offer oceanfront property. The tail end of the 'Sting Ray' is a long driveway that lets home owners bring vehicles to the space.
