Eco-pleasant solar floating house

ITALIAN architect Giancarlo Zema has designed a new eco-friendly floating home.

The WaterNest 100 is a circular pod-like structure that provides 100 square metres of living space. Up to 98 per cent of the structure is made of recycled materials and it is powered by a roof-top solar array.

Zema is no stranger to designing innovative aquatic residences. His previous concepts have included the Trilobis 65 yacht-cum-home, a semi-submerged cliff-side dwelling and a five-level floating apartment block.

Unlike these designs, however, the WaterNest 100 feels practical and like something you might actually live in one day.
