Floating Dwelling
Lymington, New Forest
This design is for a floating dwelling located within a flood risk area. The idea is extremely simple: build a dwelling on a pontoon so that regardless of water level, it floats and therefore never floods.
Ordinarily, the property sits on what appears to be an elegant plinth, which is low lying within the landscape, and requires no mass concrete foundation.
This particular dwelling was designed for a very prominent and exposed location by the sea, so in the interests of
visual purity, a circular form
was chosen.
