Homes of The Future?

April 14th, 2008 · No Comments

crystal balling the futureWell we do have water all around us don’t we? I was enjoying an end of the day Toad the Wet Sprocket song and clicking my stumbleupon icon to see what was new in the World. I wasn’t quite prepared for what I found at Sub-Find! I wish I could post a photo….I am emailing to ask if I can add one later, but you know, all rights reserved and all that.

Sub-Find offers submersible homes. They are sleek and open like clams when not submerged and look a bit like space ships to me. Inside they are all modern and gleaming. There is one called the Neptus 60 Cliff Habitat. Imagine the Space Needle in Seattle times three; the third portion is the portion of your home that is underwater. The other two are attached to the side of a cliff. It has three bedrooms, an observation area (that is the part that is underwater) and a small craft docking area. I can’t explain it well, just go here and see for yourself. Giancarlo Zema seems to be the  force behind these creative marvels. He’s also created Lake Washington, a recreation and entertainment marvel. I don’t think I have used the word marvel three times in anything I’ve ever written before….this really fascinates me.

Prices are not listed, you know, like when you are at a restaurant and they say lobster is ‘market value?’

The one I love the best is called a Trilobus 65 Floating Home. It is the one that most resembles a clam but no clam ever really looked quite this good!

A tip of the hat to all this creativity, Mr. Zema.  Peace Out – 3C

    Those homes are “really COOL”! I like the cliffside one. Now I just need to find a BIG cliff.

    Wow. I can just imagine taking reclining on the couch as I stare out the window at sea life swimming around me. What an experience that must be! I agree with Elaine – I need a nice cliff and I guess really good hiking boots and gear to get me in and out of my home in an eco-friendly fashion!

    Carole I have a question for…hunting for your email…

    Elaine, cliffside is not one of the search areas on our MLS is it! lol

    Sharon, the ‘clam’ version could get you from Toronto to Cleveland no?

    Thanks ladies and I agree, these are very cool.
