PersonalArk - Low Footprint Houseboats

Overview

team

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This is an effort to design very low-footprint houseboats inspired by various traditional waterborne communities in Asia, North America and Europe, using modern materials, designs and construction techniques. In addition to providing an excellent platform for testing self-sufficient designs these shelters may provide a means to quickly provide semi-permanent emergency housing in areas threatened by innundation from rising sea levels.
