Floating homes are the future of housing, with a number of concepts already in the pipeline. And now, here’s a new concept by Floridian company Arkup: a home that will hover over the ocean on hydraulic legs! The 4,350 square-foot structure will be solar-powered and capable of collecting rainwater to meet the residents’ freshwater needs as well. The home will be a four bedroom structure, with a kitchen and a laundry room all outfitted with high-end finishes and floor-to-ceiling windows offering the most breathtaking views –and not just that, but possibly unlimited mobility. And that’s not even the best part yet. This customisable floating home is actually designed to withstand a category 4 hurricane. Additonally, the hydraulic legs can lift the home above the waves if you desire solid ground beneath the feet—so to speak. Of course, the uber luxe homes also come with communications like 4G, satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and VHF radio with a 1000 kWh lithium battery as a backup power source.
