UK floating home offers a taste of luxury on the water
The Chichester floating home offers a solution to this, by giving residents the comforts of a house with the benefits of a waterborne lifestyle.
The outfit behind the Chichester is UK-based floating home company Floating Homes Ltd. As well as acting as the project developer, it also constructs the dwellings. For the design-work, though, Floating Homes enlisted Baca Architects, which has previously designed an amphibious house that's able to float on floodwater before sinking back down to its intended level as the waters recede.
Floating Homes began exploring ideas for the Chichester in June last year, although it says the idea has been 11 years in the making. It was inspired by narrow-boat and canal living, with a view to being made suitable for inland water, flood prone and marine locations.
