Home Away At Sea
The stress of daily life has a sneaky way of building up and crashing you before you expect it. You then realize it’s time to get away - from work, life, everything. Origin, a free-floating home away at sea could provide you with that escape.
The sea fascinates yet frightens. It represents detachment at the farthest fringes of humanity. To experience it usually means some expertise in oceanic environments. With Origin, those prerequisites are no longer a barrier. This floating house has a super strong shell, transparent to act as a window to the oceans, and as an exhibit to those wondering what you are. There are also observation decks above and below the water surface.
No mention on how you’d get back but I’m sure designer Jean-Baptiste Mayot didn’t mean to have us all climb into this house adrift with no way to return.
Designer: Jean-Baptiste Mayot

I can just see it in the news a year after this kind of home comes out.
“Coast Guard and Navy over stretched as pirates take free reign over the worlds rich and famous in their ocean homes.”

ummmmmm ya know you need to displace the same weight of water as the structure for this beasty to float, and well ya know water has this action called “waves” they come in all sizes and ummm ya know A WAVE FROM A BEVER FART IS GOING TO SINK THIS MOTHER.
wedgehog says
you can’t really tell from the pictures if it would be stable in rough conditions since it is hard to estimate the scale of the structure.

ignorance is ignorance, not bliss says
God people need to calm down, some of these people are overly obnoxious with there comments and what the hell is a “big bickle”. As for the guy talking about displacing water that can all be solved by widening the base or making the walls higher. I never here and constructive criticism, all I hear is people whining about what is wrong with it and not explaining how it could be fixed. and zippyflounder is a retard
