Ever thought you might need a house that floats? Truly? Well, the Dutch are way ahead. Not sure about the Italians, in Venice – likely they are, too – I just haven’t had a chance to check this morning – but I did do some digging and found http://www.waterstudio.nl/pa_leidsche_rijn19.html. This architectural firm in Holland has developed at least one floating house concept that I wouldn’t hesitate to look at if Jon and I ever decide it’s time to make sure we can float.  Since we DO sit on landfill, it’s not a bad idea to consider, to be frank. 

Waterstudio.nl has several other projects in the works – http://www.waterstudio.nl/pa_aalsmeer.html ; http://www.waterstudio.nl/pa_dehoef.html; and http://www.waterstudio.nl/pa_leidsche_rijn16.html, to name a few.
