Floating homes that can withstand Category 4 hurricanes will soon become a reality
The residences were designed by architect Koen Olthuis, who has pioneered the concept of the floating home.
Each 4,350-square-foot unit contains four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms.
Prices range from $2 million to $3 million.
The residences provide 360-degree views of the water.
They also have zero emissions and are powered by solar panels on the roof.
Guests can disconnect from sewage lines, thanks to a system that collects, stores, and purifies rainwater.
The units are just as mobile as a typical yacht.
Even as coastal residents become more fearful of rising sea levels, Olthuis wants cities to see water as an asset, not a challenge, to new construction.
