With rising sea levels, skyrocketing land prices and climate changes, floating homes and structures are emerging as an alternative to traditional housing solutions. While they are best suited for low-lying regions and are extremely popular in places like the Netherlands, the trend is fast catching on to other places. Since many tout them as the next big thing, I decided to list some of the coolest floating homes and structures out there. Some are just concepts, some are a reality but all are just pure awesome.
