Winners have been announced in an open competition to design what could become a permanent, sea-based, autonomous living facility.

The competition was put on by The Seasteading Institute, a group looking to develop long-term ocean-based communities.

"Seasteads are permanent, stationary structures specifically designed for long-term ocean living. Entrants into the contest were provided with a 3-D model of TSI’s patent-pending base platform, on which they built creative architectural designs for a new society of ocean pioneers. The specifics of the design, aesthetics, and intended use were entirely up to each designer."
