FLOATING HOUSE FOR FLOOD PRONE ARAES” A Review

Key outcomes of the project include:  ·              Adaptability to Floods: The house rises and falls with changing water levels, ensuring uninterrupted habitation. ·              Structural Stability: Proper weight distribution, lightweight materials, and guideposts maintain balance and prevent drifting. ·              Sustainability: Use of locally available and eco-friendly materials reduces environmental impact and construction costs. ·              Community Resilience: Floating houses enhance the safety, living conditions, and social stability of communities in flood-prone regions. ·              Feasibility and Scalability: Modular design allows replication for both individual homes and community infrastructure like schools or healthcare centers.
