Floating houses are constructed using durable materials in factories to avoid moisture issues. They are assembled from large elements or modules and placed onto pontoons before being floated to their final location. This allows construction to occur away from the environmentally sensitive final site. The floating platforms use steel pontoons filled with insulating foam that are anchored to the seabed, making the structures extremely stable even in windy conditions. The construction method has environmental benefits like leaving no footprint and allowing easy relocation of structures at the end of their lifespan.
