New Orleans Floating

WATERVILLA Architect Herman Hertzberger’s “Watervilla” floats on a concrete box below.

It is typically moored to the shore on posts driven into the ground. Utilities for the home are routed to the home with flexible pipes. The structure rises and descends with the water levels. The home can be rotated at any angle.

Waterstudio has built 25units. Floating architecture has many possibilities for land starved cities as well as flood prevention.
