Inspired by the potential of the energy independence created by solar power, the Floating Houses project created by SolarLab conceptualizes a free floating habitat that can potentially extend the boundaries of existing living spaces. Thanks to an ambitious integrated solar power supply, integrated water purification and waste treatment systems, the Floating Houses seek to be fully autonomous and sustainable habitats that can offer unprecedented variety in terms of living spaces to citizens of the future.
For the time being the project is focused mainly on developing a truly practical and sustainable floating abode for the Institute of Water and Ecology that will be based on Lake Constance in Germany which will also house an exhibition highlighting the sensitivity of water ecosystems and the prospects of using solar energy in many more radical housing and public endeavors in the near future.
Futuristic Floating Houses to take solar-powered housing to the sea
Interview
Recently, I actually had the pleasure of conducting an interview of one of these geniuses of the design world, Andreas Malo Dyb. I have idolized many of his pieces ranging from footwear to the iphone bag. He has judiciously amalgamated creativity and discipline to give out some truly unique designs.
