A Dutch architecture firm has designed a series of solar-powered floating homes. Called Naturecruiser and Waterloft, these innovative motorized houseboats are designed as fully equipped houseboats, but with the added benefit of being able to navigate the surrounding lakes or rivers.

The building features of these homes include a sleek, streamlined façade and an aluminum body to keep the home in top condition for a long time. Depending on the length of the model, the houseboats from this company may have two or three bedrooms; open living room and kitchen; bathroom with sauna, shower and separate toilet; large roof terraces - all furnishings and equipment are ideal for year-round living on the water.

Starting prices for Naturecruiser and Waterloft are € 535,000 ($ 602,663) and € 899,000 ($ 1,012,700), respectively, and both versions are subject to change based on specific customer requests.

The ambitious Arkup floating home concept was implemented in 2019 after a long project and is now selling for $ 5.5 million. With solar power, stabilizing hydraulic stilts and its own motors, the first model was unveiled in 2019 during the Miami Yacht Show.

Arkup # 1, as it is officially called, is a 22.9m long two-story ultra-luxury floating home spanning 404 sq. m area. Its most interesting feature compared to other houseboats we have seen is the hydraulic stilts needed to stabilize the house during waves, and the manufacturer claims this house is designed to withstand Category 4 hurricane winds at up to 250 km / h. The house develops a speed of up to 7 knots.

A lot of modern technologies are installed in the house on the water - solar panels, a system for collecting and subsequent purification of rainwater, many communication systems for the Internet, television and radio. The layout of the model shown in the photo includes an open plan living room with dining area, kitchen and bathroom on the first floor, while the second floor contains four bedrooms, each with a bathroom.

One of the Russian companies also keeps up with the global trend in the field of yachting and offers its models of houses on the water or new generation houseboats.

The total area of ​​the houseboat is 396 sq m, dimensions - 20 x 8 m, cruising speed - 10 km / h, maximum speed - 16 km / h.

Futura 280 is an excellent choice as a yacht, summer cottage, home or office all year round, even in winter. At the design stage, you can make changes to the configuration of your future houseboat. For example, for winter living, they usually order a seawater filtration system. For comfort, many people order underfloor heating, an air conditioning system, a smart home, etc. The term for making a houseboat with individual characteristics for a customer is only 4 months.

French manufacturers also keep up with current trends and present their James Bond-style floating luxury. This luxurious house on the water is the idea of ​​naval architect Jean-Michel Ducancel, who was inspired by the domed floating capsule from the 1977 Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me. It took 15 years to develop.

The now existing Anthenea is the world's first floating eco-luxury hotel. Anthenea, 50 sq m, includes a total of three residential areas.

There is also a bathroom with a round bathtub, into which you can pour either fresh or sea water; fully equipped kitchen; 12-seater rooftop solarium and bar with stunning views of the surrounding ocean.

Anthenea uses no fossil fuels and can be installed anywhere - with zero environmental impact, which is super important in today's world. Anthenea is equipped with five south-facing solar panels that power electric motors and mechanical systems.

The French manufacturer offers several variants of Anthenea models to its customers, taking into account individual needs. Standard prices range from 250,000 to 420,000 euros depending on the model.

The Portuguese company presents an eco-friendly mobile floating home for living and relaxing on calm waters, for example, in the middle of a lake. The manufacturer will create a floating home according to the client's request and needs - whether you want a cozy studio or a fully furnished three-bedroom home. A completely comfortable lake house with a fully equipped kitchen for daily use, also includes a barbecue on the upper terrace on sunny days, a wine cellar and a pellet stove to keep warm on cold days.

The Friday Floating House has been designed with sustainable materials and technologies that reduce our carbon footprint and reduce energy requirements. The house has a compact activated sludge treatment plant.

The home's modular design means that all of its components, including equipment and furniture, can be easily stored in two standard containers and shipped virtually anywhere in the world. With two small outboard motors, you can enjoy a moderate ride of 3 knots and wake up in a different place every day. When charging, the house is autonomous for at least seven days.

The cost of floating houses from this manufacturer also varies depending on the characteristics, layouts and dimensions from 159,000 to 255,560 euros.

Ocean Community is a project from Polish designer Wojciech Morsztyn, which is a luxurious solar-powered floating home. It is planned that these structures will float no more than 800 meters from the coastline of the city, which means that its inhabitants can easily move back and forth, while living on the water.

Such solar-powered homes will be nearly self-sufficient, relying on an abundance of sun, water and wind to generate energy.
The houses on the water will serve as fully functional living spaces linked to existing above ground infrastructure and, according to the designer, will be a natural extension of coastal cities.

Each such "capsule" will consist of two levels and have a panoramic view of the sea. The combination of wood and upholstered furniture in neutral colors will complement the light-filled interior. Morshtyn plans to have his concept implemented by 2035 and says that upon further research, when the required technology decreases in price, the cost of such a house will be around £ 150,000 per unit.

It is worth noting that Morshtyn's Ocean Community project recently won the Red Dot Design Award 2019 from an expert jury in the field of design concepts. We hope that such a beautiful and unusual project will be implemented as soon as possible.

Blue Estate Island is a stunning floating island project in the Caribbean Sea, a true luxury city on the water with all the infrastructure, designed for 15,000 permanent residents. The Blue Estate Island project, which positions itself as the city of the future, will be located between Miami and the Bahamas, and its area will be 1.5 sq km, which is not much less than the area of ​​the famous Monaco. Island According to the project, the island will have residential residences, businesses, schools, hospitals and everything needed for a comfortable life.

The island will be completely safe and extremely reliable in its design - protective outer walls up to 50 meters high will protect against high ocean waves, and when a particularly powerful hurricane approaches, the island may temporarily move, leaving the dangerous area. Above all, the Blue Estate developers are of course thinking about the environmental impact of such a huge project, so they are going to implement a system of renewable energy sources of sun, water, wind and tides in order to reduce the negative impact of the island on CO2 emissions.

Developers and investors have already announced the cost of housing on Blue Estate Island - the prices are amazing! For example, the Ring Level studio apartments will cost from $ 25,000, while the Signature Estate mega-mansions cost $ 1.5 billion. The pre-sale is already open, but construction is scheduled to begin in 2022 and the first phase will be completed by the end of 2023. The complete completion of the project is scheduled for 2025.

The idea of ​​the project is also based on the creation on the island itself of a favorable business environment with zero taxes and minimal restrictions, which will surely attract many businessmen from all over the world.
