Float House


By: Morphosis
This new innovative housing design
is for the Make it Right Foundation
in New Orleans that Brad Pitt
formed. :) He is so nice. haha.



Morphosis created this with the help with graduates from the
University of California in Los Angeles. New technology allows this house to float when floods occur. The teams built on a prefab chassis using polystyrene foam coated in glass fibre reinforced concrete. Their plan is create 150 affordable, sustainable, storm-resistant houses. 150 doesnt really seem like alot, so I hope that the plan increses the amount of houses they are building. And hopefully affordable really does mean affordable and doesnt mean affordable for rich people. Clark construction, who are apparently very well know, are making these houses.
