The ambitious project is still under construction, but more  than 20,000 people have already moved in. When complete, the  neighbourhood will have 18,000 homes for 45,000 residents as well as  schools, shops, leisure centers, restaurants, and beachs. One of its  many innovative housing projects is taking place in Waterbuurt or Water  District. Waterbuurt is part of the IJburg neighbourhood and is  located on ‘Steigereiland’ (Jetty Island) which forms IJburg’s main  access route via the Enneus Heerma Bridge. The neighbourhood has 75 (93,  according to Financial Times) individual floating houses moored around slender jetties like house boats. The floating homes are supported by buoyant concrete tubs submerged  in the water to a depth of half a story. A lightweight supporting steel  construction is built on top, which is fitted with wooden panelling to  make rooms and floors. Bedrooms and the bathroom are contained in the  lowest story, which is partly submerged. The raised ground floor houses  kitchen and dining spaces. Connected to an open terrace deck, the main  living area occupies the cantilevered upper floor. Sunrooms, verandas,  floating terraces, awnings, etc. can be easily attached to this skeleton  frame.The houses were built at a shipyard about 65 km north of  IJ Lake, then tugged though canal locks, which means the houses can’t  exceed widths of more than 6.5 meters. To ensure that the homes don’t  drift away or into one another, they’re anchored to the lake bed by  steel mooring poles. Experiments with living on water need to  take place, especially in a country will Netherlands where two-thirds of  the population lives below sea level. The country has spent billions  keeping water at bay by building some of the world’s most fantastic dykes and barriers.  Floating neighbourhoods is also a solution to the problem of rising sea  level and housing shortage in dense metropolitan areas. <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wUx5wnWN71o/VXVFmqor85I/AAAAAAABC74/e-cifRI6OPc/ijburg-floating-houses-1%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--QDhYYceqQc/VXVFn2kFZwI/AAAAAAABC8A/i4EO-bTTgGU/ijburg-floating-houses-10%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bta8iGmjih0/VXVFo80oo5I/AAAAAAABC8I/ayc0RjlV5tU/ijburg-floating-houses-11%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tWYgIINAvg0/VXVFqCqe5bI/AAAAAAABC8Q/wvv7H6usa5Q/ijburg-floating-houses-2%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fIWRPcm6px8/VXVFrATuURI/AAAAAAABC8Y/dRdVOsL5mJk/ijburg-floating-houses-3%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nM30rRrIVBk/VXVFsEDsaVI/AAAAAAABC8g/drZHmgz7QLI/ijburg-floating-houses-5%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rXpVdMwLtAU/VXVGOOCthLI/AAAAAAABC8o/US0ajyUp-GQ/ijburg-floating-houses-6%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Y8bpRtNrNRQ/VXVGPGHxl7I/AAAAAAABC8w/NM-cWggw6SE/ijburg-floating-houses-7%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Wc17-iX_1xI/VXVGQAUwMbI/AAAAAAABC84/k47HQEzkAEo/ijburg-floating-houses-8%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-95vvtdlWE68/VXVGRVd2OvI/AAAAAAABC9A/-jJtDSZ8PQw/ijburg-floating-houses-9%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NLyPZLLHdwo/VXVGSUXSzGI/AAAAAAABC9I/ktpXDx9YNQs/ijburg-floating-houses-12%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </blockquote>
