The floating house is a bet for the future of housing
To cope with climate change, rising sea levels and contemporary nomadism, a structure created by students in Switzerland proposes to explore the 70% of the Earth covered in water as a potential habitable space for life human. Named Blue Nomad, the floating habitat relies solely on solar power, is made from a structurally optimized fabric of flax fiber (an organic and regenerative material) and can accommodate two people and two guests. In a community atmosphere, units will be able to connect and share resources and spaces, with the potential to build a village or a floating city. A prototype of the model, designed by students from the Institut auf dem Rosenberg in collaboration with SAGA Space Architects, has just been exhibited at the London Design Biennale and will also be presented at the Monte Carlo Energy Boat Challenge in July. A maiden voyage is expected to take place in late 2024.
