Design studio Grimshaw created a concept for a floating home that can survive rising sea levels.
The dwellings are modular, so components can be mass-produced in factories and assembled at a low cost.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesDesign studio Grimshaw and manufacturers Concrete Valley collaborated on their design for Modular Water Dwellings. The structures are essentially floating homes, designed to withstand the upcoming effects of climate change and use energy more sustainably.
The floating homes will be made on an assembly line, creating a modular final product from several standardized pieces. This is an approach taken by many tiny home companies to make construction more affordable, and allow customers to customize their homes based on available pieces.Concrete Valley's manufacturing facility sits on a waterway in the Netherlands, which will allow for the homes to be assembled at the factory and transported to their destinations, ready to move into.
Designers believe that the aspects of the home that make it so unique, like its location on the water, and the potential community of other water dwellings, can contribute to the health and wellbeing of residents. People living in the homes would be close to nature, with beautiful views and access to water. They also promote the idea of communal water activities, like fishing or parasailing, or even using the pontoons to create shared communal spaces like floating gardens and terraces.
Gosh that's bleak
Was Obama's $20m east coast mansion on the ocean also designed for rising sea levels or Al Gore's on the ocean in California. Do as they say not as they do?
