Sustainability versus flood risk

Experts say that relieving the Dutch housing shortage will require the construction of one million new homes over the next 10 years. Floating homes could help relieve pressure on the shortage of land available for development. As sea levels rise and supercharged storms cause waters to swell, floating neighbourhoods offer an experiment in flood defence that could allow coastal communities to better withstand climate change. Waterstudio will oversee construction this winter of a floating housing development near the low-lying capital of Male in the Maldives, where 80 percent of the country sits less than one meter above sea level. It is composed of simply designed, affordable housing for 20,000 people. Underneath the hulls will be artificial coral to help support marine life.

When people from a wide range of cultural spheres are living on the ocean, how do people coexist with other people or with the environment? This design prototyping examines people’s life at sea in 2050 and the ecosystem they create from the perspective of housing. Life at sea—it sounds far away, like a distant lifestyle reserved for Navy seamen, ocean trawlers and submarine captains. But as shorelines recede, populations grow and property-ownership ideas evolve, designers and architects are prompted to re-think how—and where—we live. Houses and other buildings that rise and fall with water levels are becoming more common in Dutch cities. The raised structure of the SeaPod provides 73 square meters of living space.

– Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Office of the Deputy Mayor of Planning and Economic Development celebrated the future of housing in downtown DC at the conversion ceremony of the old Vanguard building into the new Elle Apartments. The Vanguard building opened in 1965 and, for years, was home to the Peace Corps. The conversion of the building marks a significant step in reimagining the downtown area as a more vibrant mixed-use community, where residents can live, work, and play. At the event, Mayor Bowser also highlighted her Housing in Downtown Abatement Program, which will encourage new residential conversion projects downtown.

are floating homes the future of housing

Olthuis says the housing shortage in the Netherlands could fuel demand for floating homes, including in “Room for the River” areas where floods will be, at least for a portion of the year, part of the landscape. Experts say that relieving the Netherland housing shortage will require the construction of 1 million new homes over the next 10 years. Floating homes could help make up the shortage of land that is suitable for development. Olthuis says the housing shortage in the Netherlands could fuel demand for floating homes, including in "Room for the River" areas where floods will be, at least for a portion of the year, part of the landscape.

Floating Homes Of The Future

Mr. Olthuis envisions public buildings like schools, stadiums and even parks being moved to different waterside neighborhoods according to need. Yet, according to Koen Olthuis, the lead architect on the project, it is part of the greatest transformation in urbanism since Elisha Otis built the safety brake that gave rise to the modern elevator, skyscrapers and ultimately urban density. It has also accused local authorities of lacking understanding of the technology available when it comes to their application of planning policy.

The concept defended by Ocean Builders is available in three versions, all designed by the Dutch architect Koen Olthuis and his Waterstudio team. The three models are quite similar, but differ in the environment for which they were designed. As global warming provokes increasingly severe weather events, however, the gap between art and life is fast narrowing, with apocalyptic flooding scenarios now as common in reality as in the imaginations of Hollywood scriptwriters.

The undersides of the islands are equipped with anchor points for marine life that resemble holds on artificial climbing walls, leading to a collaboration with Ocean Futures Society, established by Jean-Michel Cousteau, the son of the explorer Jacques Cousteau. Mr. Olthuis’s architectural firm, Waterstudio, which he founded in 2003, has completed more than 200 floating homes and offices. It’s a bold solution and clearly the idea of a floating home is not going to be for everyone.

Severe wind and rainstorms, or even the passing of large cruise ships, can make the buildings rock. Siti Boelen, the Schoonschip resident, said that when she first moved in, stormy weather made her think twice before venturing up to her third-floor kitchen, where she felt the movement the most. “You feel it in your stomach,” she said, adding that she has since gotten used to the feeling.

The Housing in Downtown Abatement Program will incentivize future residential transformations by providing tax relief for new residential projects in the Central Business District. The program requires projects to include 15% of units to be affordable at 60% of the Median Family Income. DMPED will issue regulations in early 2023 for public comment and a Request for Applications later in the year. Beginning in FY24 through FY26, $2.5 million will be available for this abatement, increasing to $6.8 million in FY27 before increasing by 4% annually. While he is mostly known in design circles for his open glass constructions, Mr. Olthuis sees a broader mission.

Dutch firms specializing in floating buildings have been inundated with requests from developers abroad to undertake more ambitious projects. Rotterdam, which is 90 percent below sea level and the site of Europe’s biggest port, is home to the world’s largest floating office building, as well as a floating farm where cows are milked by robots, supplying dairy products to local grocery stores. Since the 2010 launch of the Floating Pavilion, a solar-powered meeting and event space in Rotterdam’s harbor, the city has been ramping up efforts to mainstream such projects, naming floating buildings one of the pillars of its Climate Proof and Adaptation Strategy. Rotterdam, which is 90% below sea level and the site of Europe's biggest port, is home to the world's largest floating office building, as well as a floating farm where cows are milked by robots, supplying dairy products to local grocery stores.

These areas have a high probability of flooding, at least 1 in 100 years. Zone 2 and 3a areas have a wide spectrum of flood risk, and Floodline believes there is the capacity to release such land which can be sustainably developed. Where there are no reasonably available Flood Zone 1 sites, local authorities take into account reasonably available Flood Zone 2 designated sites.

Schoonschip, designed by the Dutch firm Space&Matter, consists of 30 houses, half of which are duplexes, on a canal in a former manufacturing area. The neighbourhood is a short ferry ride from central Amsterdam, where many of the residents work. Community members share nearly everything, including bikes, cars and food bought from local farmers. These floating communities are inspiring more ambitious Dutch-led projects in flood-prone nations, from French Polynesia to the Maldives.

There is even a proposal for floating islands in the Baltic Sea on which small cities would be built. A cross-section of a floating house AHLQVIST & ALMQVISTIn the Netherlands, a country which is largely built on reclaimed land and a third of which remains below sea level, the idea is not so far-fetched. In Amsterdam, which has almost 3,000 officially registered traditional houseboats across its canals, hundreds of people have moved into floating homes in previously neglected neighborhoods. With about a third of the country below the current sea level, the Netherlands is embracing floating houses and other buildings that can adapt to rising waters. The floating communities in the Netherlands, which emerged in the past decade, have served as proof of concept for larger-scale projects now being spearheaded by Dutch engineers.

These are considered to have a flood risk of less than 1 in 100 years. Through flood risk assessments, the aim of local planning authorities is to steer new development to Flood Zone 1, areas which the Environment Agency considers to have a probability of flooding of less than 1 in 1,000 years. The Environment Agency is currently committed to spending £2.6bn over six years on delivering 1,500 projects which will better protect 300,000 homes from coastal erosion and flooding.

To show you two extremes you need only look at Lazzarini Design’s Floating UFO home and then take a peek at The Floating Seahorse, a series of luxury floating villas that are partially underwater and constructed by real estate agencyKleindienst Group. I’m not entirely sure The Floating UFO home even takes itself seriously, while Seahorse is certainly looking to appeal to the “I’ve got more money than I know what to do with” demographic. If the different modules all have their particularities, those that stand out are certainly the SeaPod and EcoPod, due to the fact that they are erected above the water. These were conceptualized to address the lack of space in popular beach destinations.

Community members share nearly everything, including bikes, cars, and food bought from local farmers. Each building runs its own heat pump and devotes roughly a third of its roof to greenery and solar panels. Residents sell surplus power to one another and to the national grid. Faced with worsening floods and a shortage of housing, the Netherlands is seeing growing interest in floating homes. These floating communities are inspiring more ambitious Dutch-led projects in flood-prone nations as far-flung as French Polynesia and the Maldives.

“You could build homes that go up and down that mean you do not displace any water off the site. The Dutch are very good at this,” says Floodline technical director Faruk Pekbeken. We’re an online magazine dedicated to covering the best in international product design. A household needs to make $450,000 per year to afford a single–family home, the most prevalent form of housing in Sausalito. Studio apartment rentals, which average $2,118 in monthly rent, can be affordable for some low–income individuals.

Moreover, in terms of the practical aspect, such as the purchase of groceries, Romundt assures us that the delivery drones will perfectly fulfill the role of bringing food, medicine and other items of every day until the modules. There should be no shortage of offers, because as Ocean Builders general manager Grant Romundt told CNN Travel, many of them have wanted to buy a pod for years. But so far, the company has not accepted any deposits, preferring to give interested people the opportunity to visit the modules before deciding. The houses are certainly not being touted as an alternative to conventional flood defenses such as dykes, levees and river barriers. Floating buildings are certainly not the only way of achieving such a combination.

Building away climate change

The pods were designed “to benefit the environment” and provide “a natural habitat for ocean life to grow and thrive,” she promises. The latter, himself a fan of floating houses, is certain that visitors will be convinced by the experience offered by the SeaPods. "These houses not only offer protection against floods, but also great quality of living and low environmental impact." So this housing innovation could offer a vital means for other countries expecting to be hit by sea level rises. Although the Tidal House could be used to live off a coastline, Terry said he could see building the homes in areas prone to flooding so people could live without constantly worry about recurring damages.

Dutch firms specialising in floating buildings have been inundated with requests from developers abroad for more ambitious projects too. Blue21, a Dutch tech company focused on floating buildings, is currently working on a proposed series of floating islands in the Baltic Sea. The development could house 50,000 people and connect to a privately funded €15bn ($16.9bn/£12.5bn) underwater rail tunnel to link Helsinki, Finland and Tallin in Estonia. The project is backed by Finnish investor and "Angry Birds" entrepreneur Peter Vesterbacka.

Sausalito covers the City of Sausalito only, but this is where many of us shop and spend our time away from home. Every local government jurisdiction in the Bay Area, including Sausalito and Marin County, is developing its own 6th Cycle Housing Elements, which are due in January 2023. The Housing Element is a mandatory part of the general plan and requires communities to plan for new housing. "Over the last 15 years, we've reinvented ourselves as a delta city," says Arnoud Molenaar, chief resilience officer with the City of Rotterdam. "Instead of seeing water just as an enemy, we see it as an opportunity." The concept is intriguing but actually launching these concepts will take more than calm seas.

Koen Olthuis, who in 2003 founded Waterstudio, a Dutch architectural firm focused exclusively on floating buildings, says the relatively lo-tech nature of floating homes is potentially their biggest advantage. The homes he designs are stabilised by poles dug roughly 65m into the ground and outfitted with shock-absorbent materials to reduce the feeling of movement from nearby waves. "If there are floods, it's expected that many people will move to higher ground. But the alternative is to stay close to coastal cities and explore expansion onto the water," says De Graaf. "If you consider that in the second half of the century, hundreds of millions of people will be displaced by sea level rise, we need to start now to increase the scale of floating developments."

"After the disastrous floods of 1995 the Dutch government laid down strict rules forbidding the building of houses beside rivers. So far Dura Vermeer has built 46 such water-friendly units - 14 floating and 32 amphibious - at Maasbommel, on the banks of the River Maas in Gelderland province in the centre of the country. "In a country such as Holland, where flooding is a serious problem, this sort of technology could have an extremely important role to play." "These type of homes offer a good way of dealing with the effects of climate change," Dura Vermeer spokesman Johan van der Pol told CNN.

Most Sausalito and floating home residents want the “working waterfront” to remain healthy and viable. There is also interest in allocating some land within the Marinship for senior housing and affordable housing. The flat land and larger parcels make senior and affordable housing more viable in the Marinship than in other areas. In October, residents of the floating community of Schoonschip in Amsterdam had little doubt they could ride it out. Ocean Builders claims to have focused on the sustainability of its builders.

"Our philosophy is that you can look at water as a threat, but also as a challenge and a commercial opportunity. Combining water and housing is the obvious way forward in countries such as the Netherlands." In every other respect they look and feel like normal homes -- albeit up-market designer homes -- with split-level accommodation, wooden balconies and clapboard exteriors painted cheery shades of yellow, green and blue. Both employ a large hollow concrete cube at their base to provide buoyancy, and are "moored" in pairs to huge steel piles to keep them anchored in one place, the piles enabling them to withstand currents as strong as you would find on the open seas. Recent flooding in the UK, for example -- the worst for 60 years -- left some 30,000 people homeless and the insurance industry facing over £3 billion ($6 billion) in payouts. Sit along the edge of the Maas River dyke, while other constructions are built on concrete foundations topped with iron piers to keep them above water.

Divided into three and a half levels, the house has a master bedroom, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. Thanks to its different windows on either side of the house, it is possible to enjoy a 360° view of the ocean. California-based Terry & Terry Architecture has designed floating concepts that it feels could very well be the future of housing down the road. Expected to open in May 2024, the Elle Apartments will bring 163 residential units and 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail to the downtown area.

Faced with worsening floods and a shortage of housing, the Netherlands is seeing growing interest in floating homes.

I suspect, to be realistic, it's more designed for bay water or lagoons or estuaries, Terry said. With innovation enabling engineers to build flood-resilient homes in flood-prone areas in other parts of the world, the UK has not been so quick to embrace such change. The average household size is just 1.6 people, and 37% of residents are over 65. "Living on water is normal for us, which is exactly the point," says Marjan de Blok, a Dutch TV director who initiated the project in 2009 by organising the collective of architects, legal experts, engineers and residents who worked to get the project off the ground. In addition, the sea level accommodation will boast floor to ceiling windows, uninterrupted sea views, a fully-fitted kitchen with a dining area, an open plan living area and a sun deck.

The two-story structure is divided into a public space above the water and a private space underwater. People who live on water inhabit floating mobile houses that can travel freely on the sea, depending on the weather, ebb and flow of tides, and time of the day. They may move in search of food to a place where there is a school of fish, and they may also connect with houses of different “sea cities” to interact with people with different cultures and values. Joanna Clement Borek, a San Francisco designer, took a different approach to floating homes. Tafoni, as her floating residence is called, was designed to challenge conventional notions of land-ownership and to inspire simpler, more introspective living.

Everyone has a different definition of their ideal house, and some need a manufactured home floor plan with a bit more space than others. Our modular buildings are built to the same building codes as traditional site-built construction. Our structures can be placed on a variety of foundations, such as crawlspaces, pilings, or stilts.

The home is efficient in its design, with 3 bedrooms and 2 complete baths upstairs and a half bath and ground floor utility room downstairs. The large covered porch gives friends and family another place to relax outdoors. The small footprint makes this two story an economical choice for small lots. Two Story homes are perfect for growing families on smaller properties, because building upwards instead of outwards uses less space. Best of all, building in this manner is also less expensive per square foot!

Along most of coastal California, the Pacific plate slides slowly to the northwest past the North American plate. This results in the San Andreas fault and other major faults that occasionally cause large earthquakes. The latest earthquake and the one last year occurred in a region where three of the earth’s large crustal plates come together. Known as the Mendocino Triple Junction, it is an area of high seismic activity, averaging about 80 earthquakes a year of magnitude 3 or greater.

In the northernmost part of the coast, however, a third plate, the Gorda — part of a larger plate called the Juan de Fuca — comes into play. At this triple junction, the Gorda is sliding beneath the North American plate, a process called subduction, and at the same time sliding past the Pacific plate, creating a fault called the Mendocino Transform. The combination of these various stresses is what leads to the large number of earthquakes in the area.

The earthquake caused “significant structure damage,” including houses separated from foundations in Rio Dell. The owner of a pharmacy, Robert Johnson, said his storefront was intact only because he had installed sturdier windows after an earlier earthquake. In the city of Fortuna, five miles east of Ferndale, local merchants said the quake on Tuesday was stronger even than the one that struck last Dec. 20 in the same region.

A tile from the countertop in his newly renovated kitchen broke away from the wall, he said, and he had to turn the water off after a line burst, spraying water under his house. A dresser toppled onto her bed, and a fallen mirror nearly barricaded her in the room, she said.

It’s a perfect vacation home that works equally well as a primary residence. A two-story prefab house is perfect for a growing family or when constructing a new house on a smaller lot. The ability to build up instead of out resolves any space issues and adds more privacy — bedrooms in these structures are usually upstairs. The building cost per square foot is less than a one-story home, as the most expensive components, such as the foundation, roof and plumbing, require a smaller footprint. Next Modular has various options for modular home floorplans, so everyone shopping for a home can find the ideal layout.

The Home Store offers a wide selection of two story modular home floor plans, including Colonial, Victorian, and Contemporary designs. For example, we offer the Lyndhurst and the Trenton II modular floor plans. We also offer more contemporary two story modular homes with multiple roof lines and front entry garages that add considerable character. Two good examples of these modular home plans are the Wentworth and the Highland. Our two story house plans, like all of our floor plans for modular homes, come in a wide variety of sizes. The Stonewall and the Jamestown are smaller traditional two story modular homes, and the Fairview and Lone Star are smaller contemporary modular floor plans.

Three full bathrooms are present and accounted for, including a master bath with a corner tub and separate shower. Some folks love the great views, while others appreciate having different spaces for bedrooms and living areas. Still others prefer the smaller footprint of a two-story home and how it provides more space on a smaller lot size. With a small foot print that is only 21’6” wide, it still has room for 3 bedrooms and 2½ baths.

From the small and functional to the grand and spacious, our two-story prefab homes are perfect for any family looking to lay down strong roots. We offer a number of affordable floor plan options, giving us the flexibility to turn your home-owning dreams into a reality. Many of our two story modular homes come with a straight set of stairs to the second floor, such as the Hawthorne II. Straight stairs take up considerably less space on both floors, and they’re less expensive. Many other of our two story modular home floor plans offer L-shaped or U-shaped staircases, such as the Rock Star and the Victoria II. These types of stairs create a more dramatic look and more spacious foyer. They also have the advantage of being slightly safer if someone falls, since their fall will be broken earlier.

Once there was daylight, she said, she found more damage both inside and outside the house, and wondered how she would feed her son, charge her phone or find shelter. The quake was centered just offshore, about 12 miles west of the community of Ferndale and more than 200 miles north of San Francisco, in a seismically active region. More than 50 aftershocks followed Tuesday’s earthquake, including a large one about five minutes after with a magnitude of 4.6, according to the U.S.

You may even be able to make the space into useable rooms, although some states require you to change other specifications as well to meet the fire codes for three-story homes. Offer a welcome departure from the bland, “cookie-cutter” structures available from many other builders. We can design and build custom multilevel modular homes in a wide variety of attractive and popular architectural styles. Whether you prefer the classic, traditional Colonial style, a cozy Cape Cod or a more expansive luxury model, you’ll find the right match for your tastes. We can even design and build a custom two-story modular home from the ground up.

Another popular option you might consider with our modular 2-story home plans is to create a vaulted space above a first story room, such as a family room or dining room. One way to dress up the front of your modular 2-story house plans is to put mantles over the front windows and a pediment over the front door. You can also deck out the windows and doors of your modular home floor plans with trim boards. Outlining the roof in frieze boards and dentil moldings can give your home a custom look. You can also dress up the exterior of your modular floor plans by adding a reverse or turned gable, which is a triangular peak that often gets added to the roof on the front of our modular home plans.
