I ran across an interesting article about some homes being built in the Netherlands that will float in a flood. I did a search and found quite a few articles. I really wanted to find a webpage for the company that is building these homes. It sounds like an awesome idea, especially for the flood prone areas. I would say that this will be one of the few, if not the only, long term urban development plan for areas like New Orleans that are on the coast and below sea level where one good storm surge could cause considerable flooding.
If anyone knows of, or runs across, the webpage of the manufacturer of these house, please pass it along. I am specifically interested in how they did the electrical and plumbing work as well as the general design. The only REAL problem I think would be debris hitting the home as it is floating.
