A few years ago in the UK, a concept of ultralight dwelling houses called Paperhouses was introduced for the first time. The London studio of design and architecture Carl Turner Architects slightly corrected this project and presented a model of floating houses. It is worth noting, that the idea of creating such an unusual dwelling turned out to be very relevant, since floods became more frequent in Europe.
The idea of creating floating houses belongs to the owner of the design studio, Karl Turner. Small light houses, are proposed to place on special rubberized pallets, which will allow them to remain constantly afloat. Each house will be equipped with an autonomous system, including special photoelectric panels. They will generate electricity, as well as heat water.
On the territory of each house it is planned to equip open terraces, which will be decorated with living plants. It is likely that very soon one of the first houseboats Paperhouses will be installed on the canal of one of the cities or on a lake. One of the main nuances of the project remains the possibility of using such housing in cold season, but this problem can be solved by professional London architects.
