the main waya pyramid comprises different modules that overlap on a floating 54 by 54-meter basement, offering a total surface of about 3000 m2. the basement includes a large entrance for boats and a reception, while the part of each module submerged underwater stores engines, equipment, additional energy sources and generators. dividing the height in ten different floors with a total surface of 6500 m2, the complete waya reaches a maximum height of 30 meters from the waterline.

lazzarini has launched a crowdfunding campaign to initialize the building process of wayaland with the smaller, two-floor module (10m x 10m). accordingly to the designer, 350.000 euros are required to build the first waya suite, a sum he plans to source from offering the possibility to pre-book available nights for 2022 at 1000 euros per night.
