Paperhouses, Great Britain
From series “Fancy Houses and Hotels Located on Water or Under Water”
A few years ago in the UK, a concept of ultralight dwelling houses called Paperhouses was introduced for the first time. The London studio of design and architecture Carl Turner Architects slightly corrected this project and presented a model of floating houses. It is worth noting, that the idea of creating such an unusual dwelling turned out to be very relevant, since floods became more frequent in Europe.
The idea of creating floating houses belongs to the owner of the design studio, Karl Turner. Small light houses, are proposed to place on special rubberized pallets, which will allow them to remain constantly afloat. Each house will be equipped with an autonomous system, including special photoelectric panels. They will generate electricity, as well as heat water.
