Noah's House?
This house is built to facilitate rising river levels. It is claimed that building this floating house was cheaper (and certainly more aesthetically appealing) than building ugly flood defence barriers. Beats me how high the neighbours will keep up with these Jones? 🤔

There also seem to be quite a few YouTube videos around on this one, @Lada 🏡 Prkic This particular house appears to have captured attention, more so than actual floating homes on pontoons or flat bottom barges, yet I haven’t seen it replicated. The additional cost may just be too inhibitive for many. 🤔

Ken, a few months ago, I watched an episode of the Grand Design series about the floating house on the River Themes.

Stunning indeed, Franci. You can look at a quick video of the construction and flotation process at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16scx81p2w4

Cool engineering. I really want to see a timelapse video of this structure in action.

Yes, Claire. Sure beats keeping a little Dutch boy on hand, just in case the dyke starts to leak? 😊

A canny thought, Kev. Perhaps mooring fees are cheaper than Council rates?

I suspect, however, that this solution is too complex and expensive, Lada, for the extensive flood prone regions around the world that need help. It's still a clever idea non the less.
