About us
Living on water
Why live on the water?
A floating house opens up places where building on land is rarely possible — and a way of life that feels like a holiday every day.
-
No building plot needed
Your home floats on a lake, a river or in a marina — wherever local rules permit — so there is no land to buy or develop.
-
Rises with the water
The floating platform moves up and down with the water level, which makes the house naturally resilient to flooding.
-
Relocatable
If your plans change, your house can be moved to a new location instead of being left behind.
-
Energy-efficient and off-grid ready
High insulation standards, plus optional solar power, heat pump and water treatment for a more independent life on the water.
-
Installed in days
Your house is built off-site while the location is prepared, then floated in and connected within days.
-
Suitable for rental
Where local rules allow, a floating house can also be used as a holiday rental or in hospitality.
Mooring, permits and utility connections depend on local regulations. We help you check the requirements for your chosen location early on.
