NLÉ and Kunlé Adeyemi have designed the prefabricated floating music hub currently in construction off the island of São Vicente in Cape Verde
Just off the coast of the picturesque Mindelo bay in the island of São Vicente of Cape Verde, West Africa, construction has been progressing fast at the site of the Floating Music Hub, NLÉ’s latest incarnation of the Amsterdam- and Lagos-based architecture studio’s Makoko Floating System .
The elegant timber structure consists of three vessels of varying sizes, which will be anchored around a triangular floating public plaza, creating a little creative ‘village’. These distinct floating wings will host a multipurpose performance hall , a professional recording studio and a service bar . They all feature the system’s signature triangular shape and pitched roof.
The exciting scheme is championed by NLÉ principle and founder Kunlé Adeyemi and is a further development of his Makoko Floating System , a prefabricated design engineered to higher performance specifications and quality for marine environments.
The concept has since been rigorously modified and perfected, with the Cape Verde’s upcoming completion marking the system’s first edition to be created in the Atlantic Ocean, a new territory for the team. §
