D.Invent’s flood adapted houses offer owners with the amazing features listed above.
Scroll down to watch a simple demonstration of how your house will perform in flood.
OVERVIEW
Key Features
Guided Floatability Automatically adapts to rising flood water, then descends to original position when flood water recedes.
Hybrid Functionality Serves in both flood and dry conditions. In dry conditions, the house rests on its footings and performs all basic functions of a conventional house.
Balance and Self-Stabilization Maintains balance and stability against flowing flood water.
Shock Absorption Maintains stability and safety against dynamic impacts such as strong waves, collision of floating objects, or earthquakes.
Structural Optimization Improves overall stability in both flood and dry conditions.
Optimal Material Distribution Increases flood resilience and potentially reduces embodied carbon.
Automatic No operational procedure is required; no power input is required.
HOW IT WORKS IN REAL LIFE
A flood adapted house can be designed and built from scratch.
It can also be made by renovating an existing house to integrate our technology
to achieve similar functionalities.
Either way, the final house is not only stronger, more stable,
more flood resilient, more environmentally friendly, but also affordable.
Watch how we make it work in the video below.
ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT
The floatability of the house is permanent and automatic throughout its service life.
Future changes to the house, including renovations, additional loads,
or a local damage, were carefully assessed to make sure they will not significantly compromise the floatability.
Watch this amazing feature on a prototype of D.Invent’s sample house below.
FLOATABILITY
The house maintains its stability and balance while it floats.
It can harmonize shocks, shakings, or other dynamic impacts, to ensure the safety of all residents,
furniture, and equipment inside.
Our technology also significantly improves the stability of the house under extreme events in dry conditions, such as earthquakes.
