    Netherlands is the shit for architecture, they're pretty much forced to be innovative and stray away from traditional buildings if they want them to stay put.

    That's insanely cool. I like the architecture but not the idea of floating

    I like alternative thinking. Just imagine how easy moving is. Just make sure its a coastal town.

    Could be a big market in New Orleans. Just leave on your 1 acre and lot and don't sweat when the water comes.

    Wouldn't everything in the house fall over and whatnot if it got the least bit choppy?

    It's neat but I wouldn't live in one. I wonder how it would handle in a hurricane?
    I design things and stuff...

    Combat rising water levels? Sales tactic is fear.

    Nice design though.
