Luxury floating house has a sting in its tail
• newatlas.com by Adam WilliamsThe two story home will be accessed from land by its "stinger tail," which serves as a driveway, and can be relocated to another nearby spot with the use of a tug.
The home looks very luxurious from the renders, with the use of concrete, metal panels, and generous glazing all lending a very high-end feel. Like Casa Brutale, there's more than a touch of the Bond villain lair to the design too.
It's no minnow, with total floorspace coming in at around 9,000 sq ft (836 sq m), though this size may be modified slightly, depending on the client's wishes. Schopfer Associates told us that it has also conceived smaller versions to serve hospitality functions.
The large deck area will feature a courtyard and two-car garage, in addition to an infinity pool, hot tub, fire pit, and a dock for speedboats.
