Floating Homes: A Solution to Rising Waters in the Netherlands

The Netherlands faces challenges with building space due to its low sea level and rising waters. A solution is floating homes, which gained attention after the 1995 flood. Anne van der Mollen, affected by the flood, now owns a floating home. Dura Famir has constructed 37 such homes, built on land and placed on reinforced pontoons. These homes are unsinkable, with costs ranging from €250,000 to €300,000. Developers plan to expand this concept further.
