Product catalog summary

Introduction
The brochure introduces the concept of living on water, highlighting the unique lifestyle and connection to nature that a floating house offers. It acknowledges that while not everyone may be drawn to this lifestyle, those who do often find a deep appreciation for the water.

General Specifications

The house includes three bedrooms, a gross area of 130.99 m², a net area of 98.45 m², and a terrace area of 56.40 m².

Construction and Materials
The foundation consists of concrete pontoons filled with polystyrene foam for buoyancy. The superstructure is a wooden frame with thermal insulation and a batten facade, ensuring ecological and recyclable materials are used. The wall composition is diffusion open, with a total width of 375 mm, including 280 mm of thermal insulation.

Technologies
The house is designed to be low-energy, incorporating technologies such as ventilation with heat recovery, air heating, a heat pump, and a waste-water treatment tank. It supports solar and photovoltaic panels, and water can be sourced from the surrounding environment and filtered for use.

Anchoring/Mooring
Various anchoring systems are available to secure the house while allowing for movement with water level changes. Options include connecting bridges with shore booms, piles, or anchoring concrete blocks connected to pontoons with chains or the Seaflex system.
