Floating House for flood prone areas: Project Noah

"The concept design is based on the fact that the majority of homes in a flood do not get washed away, but rather suffer physically/emotionally debilitating and expensive damage due to floodwater incursion. Homeowners, insurance companies, and businesses will be the main beneficiaries of this new technology. Reduced insurance premiums in flood prone areas may be a long term advantage."
It is not uncommon to design a building as a boat but actually making the house float seems like an interesting challenge, just hope there isn't a windstorm.
