A future-fit way of living, building and developing urban areas
Urban Rigger expands and enhances urban areas- adding a brand new micro district to the city.
Our floating communities bring vibrant life to harbours and ports all year around – creating affordable, sustainable housing with fresh air, sea view and modern comfort.
Urban Rigger Living combines private spaces with plentiful community areas, and full access to the perks of the city and the maritime environment.
Comfortable, conscious, and connected living on water - in the city. That's Urban Rigger

In many cities and towns urban development is constrained by lack of space. Urban Rigger makes use of a huge unexplored natural resource – water. At the same time it brings new life to harbourareas by enhancing the waterfront with flexible, floating communities and attractive sustainable tiny living.
