As you know, Holland is a country that has a long history of inhabiting territories which are below sea level. Large and complex drainage systems have been part of the solutions that these areas have had to deal since medieval times.
But now, instead of drainage systems have emerged some new ideas, like this one called “New Water”, which proposes the first floating dwelling unit called The Citadel. Those responsible for this idea is Ken Oithuis of Waterstudio.

While this office has already developed floating houses, this would be the first apartment complex, under a philosophy of transforming a current problem into opportunity. Citadel streak built on a volume of water contained so-called polder, of which there are thousands in this country and all the houses are perfectly adapted to changes in level that occur in these containers.

Citadel will contain 60 luxury apartments, parking (a floating highway vehicles) and some docks for small boats.
Besides the set would use up to 25% less energy than a conventional building techniques due to cooling water and greenhouses that will raise temperatures.
