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."
