The Float house is an attempt at making better use of some of the beautiful canal banks in Western Europe. It exists on the interface between land and water and can either float like a catamaran above the water, or, as depicted in this image, afloat on the water, but with a set of arms that keep it upright against the embankment. This way, it leans over the embankment and takes up only a meter of the canal’s width. Small enough not to affect the canal traffic.
