RE: I Think I'll Get Me One Of Them Zero-Gravity Homes

in #architecture4 years ago

I have enough fear in my life already, i don't think I need to introduce a "my house could fall into the sea while i'm sleeping if there was an earthquake" scenario into it. lol

Crazy homes though, super cool.

Sort:  

Howdy sir beelzebubba! I agree, these would take a special type of person to even be able to relax completely. I bet there's some wild houses on the coast of N. Carolina though.

the coastal houses here tend to be kind of cookie cutter versions of one another built on stilts in preparation for the eventuality of the ocean destroying all of them once those property owners admit that they can't win the erosion battle.

Ha! That sounds brilliant of those wealthy people living on the coast! They probably moved there from New York.

The Outer Banks is a kind of scary place in hurricane season, this tiny plot of mostly sand with a sound on one side and the ocean on the other, it seems every couple years one of the bridges collapses and multiple houses do the same.... yet people continue to build out there.

I have to admit we do rent a house next to the dunes every couple of years and it is a lot of fun but when you look at this land-mass you can tell that if this area were to experience just a brief "hiccup" in popularity, the importing of soil to fight the erosion battle would stop and it would become like the New Jersey amusement park that is in the ocean now.

Howdy today sir beelzebubba! Oh, I didn't know that NJ had a park that is now in the ocean! That sounds like an interesting post. lol.
