Functionality and form inspires the design behind the recently launched ‘floating’ marvel ‘Venice on Water’. This project represents the ultimate in Maltese entrepreneurial drive, manufacturing skill and flair for design which will be showcased in Venice.

This floating residence concept, launched today is the first of 10, and is expected to be available in Venice as from next month. This top quality accommodation will be offered on a timeshare basis.

Carlo and Stefania Schembri were entrusted with the interior design of this project. Stefania Schembri said that “when we were entrusted with this project we wanted to enable the residents benefit from the functionality of this place, while offering a luxurious lifestyle on board. No compromise has been made on the choice of finishing that is required to make this place a marvel in luxury.” Carlo Schembri said that this project was also an important exercise in terms of the utilisation of the space, while respecting the form, functionality and design. In fact this floating place measures ten by four and a half metres.

This place consists of two bedrooms, one with ensuite facilities, a separate shower room, a full kitchen and living area, a rooftop sundeck and lounge area, a cockpit and a sleeping area for the skipper.

The boat was built by General Maintenance Ltd and is being handled by Malta-based Marketing and Promotion (MAP) Ltd, and an Italian partner Floating House.
