Floating Condos
29 November 2009 - 5:00am
Houseboats are usually thought of as unique, single-family homes. Erikstad Architecture proposes creating a more uniform set of condo-like floating homes.
From dornob.com:
"This alternative idea blends elements of planned communities and residential towers, with each houseboat acting as both an independent pontoon-riding mobile home as well as a part of a larger floating community of lake-bound homes. Erikstad Architecture has a vision of this community that clearly integrates larger urban design strategies as well as architectural tactics."

These interconnections ratify for us the sense that markets are as strong as confidence is present and confidence is as justified as patterns are dependable. These are what might be called our community moorings: anchored, tangible patterns.
