Houses floating on the top of water are nothing
new, as they have been around for a long time. However, Dubai seems to be the
hub of most luxurious of these water homes. New Living on Water, a Dutch company, is designing luxury
houses to provide you comfort and privacy along with an incredible
connection to nature.
Each luxury residence is designed to have
multiple floors and can be used as either a vacation home or a business
residence. Connecting these airborne structures to land will be a car-jetty.
The rounded organic shaped homes will have a curved roof made of stainless
steel. All the interior rooms of the house look onto a large terrace. The house
measures 50 meters (164 feet) in length and 30 meters (98 feet) in width.
The multi-storey residence has three floors
accessible by lifts and stairs. The basement is made of concrete and split into
two sections for the sake of load balancing. Four bedroom and bathroom
combinations cover the ground level along with a work space, a living room, and
a kitchen. Every room has its separate outdoor area. The upper level features
a dining room with a balcony. That being the primary structure, the specifics
can be customized according to the customer’s need.
The houses can be connected to
land for electricity and sanitation facility access, but it is also possible to
make them entirely independent through a solar panel and drinking water supply
along with a sewage water purification systems.
The
best part is that you can get your water-home made in the Caribbean, Italy,
Qatar, Dubai, Great Britain, Polynesia, Turkey, Portugal, the United States of
America or even China; in short anywhere in the world. You name it, and you get
it.
New Living on Water has already launched its
floating lodges in Dubai, but the first of the luxury houses is expected to be
built by the end of this year. A standard unit with 1,500 square foot of
interior space and 48 square meters of exterior space will cost around $11
million.
