Floodule – floating house.
Due to the total shortage of free space in megacities, architects are increasingly proposing to master the water surface of rivers and canals. One of the design firms presented a prototype of such a structure intended to be located on the water. Inside it can be a residential building, office space or retail space..
Architectural project developed by DFD.studio.
DFD.studio has developed a floating house project called Floodule. From the outside, the structure bears little resemblance to a traditional dwelling; it rather looks like a futuristic capsule.

The Floodule has a living area of 60 square meters. Inside, the house looks like a studio, divided into zones. There are sequentially a kitchen with a dining room, a living room. The sleeping area can be separated by retractable blinds. One of the walls of the house is made entirely of glass.

The bathroom area is 12 sq. meters. Its futuristic design resembles stills from a science fiction movie.
Floodule – house on the water.
Floodule can also be used in winter. The house has underfloor heating. And a special heated hose keeps the water from freezing.
The house weighs 15 tons and sinks into the water by only 20 cm. The main building material is epoxy laminate. The cost of such a dwelling, according to the developers, will take about $ 1,070 per square meter..

German developers Nautilus Hausboote also specialize in the production of original floating houses. In their collection there is an equally interesting house on the water, in which you can live even in winter.
