While modular residential design has gone from tree houses to single-family on land to the 34-story modular apartments underway in the Brooklyn Navy Yards, architects at Atelier SAD have developed Port X, a modular home that can be sited on terra firma or put to sea as a floating home. Constructed of traditional boatbuilding materials, its C-shaped design opens one side up to the water as a terrace, as curbed.com informs MHProNews, while it is attached by a foot bridge and cables to land when not cruising Prague’s (Czechoslovakia) Vlatva River. Basically, it is a set of modules that can be added to sited upon a pontoon.
