Those who want to relax on this floating wooden pavilion in Malta can only reach it by swimming or taking a boat. Completely detached from the shoreline, the Antiroom II is a circular space with curtains for walls that blur the line between sea, sky and architecture. It was built by students from different European countries during the EASA 2015 Links workshop in Valletta.

The circular structure forms a never-ending wooden platform for sunbathing and relaxing and creates a small, secure water pool that's shielded from outside views.

The design team made it semi-transparent by enveloping it in sheer curtains that dance in the wind and blur the line between the inside and outside.
