Solarpod Shizuka

Shizuka is a luxury floating villa concept composed of two distinct yet connected elements.

A / The Villa

The villa features an elongated capsule-shaped structure with panoramic windows and integrated lighting. Solar panels are integrated into the roof and rear surfaces, supporting sustainable operation. The interior design is modern and minimalist, with careful attention given to refined details and spatial balance.

Different layout configurations are proposed, offering a complete living space including a lounge area, low dining zone with kitchen, open studio sleeping area, and bathroom. The sleeping area is enhanced by an indoor jacuzzi positioned beside the bed, creating a calm, wellness-oriented living experience on the water.

B / The Platform

The villa is positioned at the center of a floating platform, providing two generous terraces: a welcome terrace and a beach terrace. These outdoor spaces extend the living environment and allow direct access to the water, offering comfort and an enjoyable stay onboard.

Shizuka features curved architectural partitions formed by oval and arched metal profiles combined with horizontal elements supporting plain panels, safety glass, solar panels, louvers, and interior partitions. Integrated wash-lighting and illuminated identification elements ensure visibility and a refined presence on the water.

All materials used in the construction of Shizuka are ethically sourced, verified, and tested.

By integrating solar panels into its architecture, Shizuka reduces its environmental footprint while delivering a refined, self-sustaining luxury experience. The design reflects a contemporary approach where sustainability and comfort coexist, offering environmentally responsible living without compromising elegance.

Shizuka stands as a continuation of Agnès Guiu’s design vision, combining advanced sustainable technology with sophisticated architecture to redefine modern luxury living on the water.

wo large panoramic windows offer open views of the surrounding landscape. Providing comfortable shade during the hottest hours of the day while ensuring privacy in the evening.

On both right-hand and left-hand sides, the terraces are defined by curved partitions combining plain and louvered elements, reinforcing the villa’s fluid architectural language.

With custom-engineered batteries and advanced onboard systems, Shizuka supports extended periods of off-grid living, delivering a quiet, emission-free experience without vibrations.

The floating base is engineered to provide stability and buoyancy for the structure, supporting the full 23 × 8 m layout while ensuring balance, durability, and long-term performance on the water.

Two configurations are proposed:

A / Couple

Living room, dining corner, fully equipped kitchen, open studio sleeping area with bed and indoor jacuzzi spa, and bathroom.

B / Commercial Use

Open-plan interior adaptable for professional use (Pilates studio, wellness studio, or similar lifestyle-oriented concepts)

FRONT SIDE

Two extra-large panoramic windows open the interior to uninterrupted views across the water, extending along the length of the villa. The open façade connects directly to two spacious terraces, creating a continuous indoor-outdoor experience and reinforcing Shizuka’s sense of openness and luxury living on the water.
