London-based company EcoFloLife specialises in the manufacture and sales of eco friendly floating residential structures and is pushing the boundary in design and hinging its future on water.

It views our future as being tied to water and our future homes increasingly water based.

The company says, “Water is life, it is part of our existence, we are born and grow in amniotic fluid, our body is made up of an average of 60% of water and 70% of our planet is covered by it. In the future our homes will increasingly be on water and will allow us to reclaim that primeval contact with nature, through a floating experience.”

Made entirely of recycled laminated timber and a recycled aluminium hull it is a more than 100sqm residential unit that can be towed easily to any water location especially river courses, lakes and bays with calm waters.
