Home-amphibian will protect the flood

The problem of flooding not only of concern to the residents of dangerous regions, but also society as a whole. There is a huge amount of protection from natural disasters, which, unfortunately, is not always possible to escape damage or casualties. In this regard, the designers of Albion suggested the unthinkable project of floating buildings, turning during a flood in a huge boat and transporting residents to safe areas.





The main purpose of floating houses — security of person and security of home. The project involves the "ascent" of the house during the flood at four meters above the ground. With massive anchor will allow the house to amphibian to be on the spot, instead of "go with the flow".





In the future, according to the authors, it will be possible to modify building engines that will allow you to travel on the water surface in the likeness of ships. This addition will give the opportunity to leave a particularly troubled areas, "moved" to a quiet backwater. In addition, ambitious developers to create a huge Parking houses amphibians, as well as a system-pilot for "delivery" dwelling on it.





Fantastic idea, today, is only a sketch because the project cost is beyond reasonable. But despite this, the designers claim that their development was interested in a few large investment funds and soon, you may be the first experimental buildings on the banks of the Thames.
