Floating houses have always been very popular in Europe. In Russia, this is a relatively new phenomenon, but the demand for such houses is ahead of the proposal several times.
In Europe, the water houses are much more than in Russia: in countries such as Germany or the Netherlands, river areas are much cheaper than the Earth, so many prefer to settle on the water. A similar residential real estate format is popular and in France, where for permanent living on the water it is necessary to buy a special permit in the mayor's office, which gives the right to arrange and laying communications to houses-boats.

"In our country, the market of housing offers on the water is quite narrow, says Mikhail Bykov, commercial director of the company. - Few of Russians imagines that there is a" floating house "due to the lack of competent advertising policies. Many customers simply do not know where and how this type of housing is presented. "
However, the demand for "water" accommodation in Russia is, the director of the Department of Urban Real Estate Department of Blackwood Oksana Diveeva is assured. According to her, demand exceeds the offer several times.
What happens a floating housing
The most inexpensive option is house on Pontoukh. Pontoons are combined among themselves into a single floating platform. This platform holds the construction on the water located on the site. Despite the rather impressive weight, the design has good stability and has the properties of the vessel, which is well kept afloat in addition, the pontoon is not subject to corrosion and its service life is several hundred years. According to experts, this type of housing has a huge potential: pontoons provide for the possibility of building a house on an individual project.
Barja, equipped with housing, are much less common. Under housing you can re-equip the old barge. But it's easier to order Bartz on shipyard. Such houses are common mainly in Europe and the United States. In Russia, the prospects for using a barge remain misty.
Debarkader - Pretty expensive type of real estate. This technology provides for construction on concrete structures. The main advantage of such houses on the water is that they provide freedom to implement any architectural designs. There are practically no restrictions on the fantasy of designers and architects. On a robust concrete debarkarer, you can build pretty big houses Height in several floors.
Debarkaders can work either autonomously, having their generator, their water supply, ventilation and sewage system. However, they can be connected to local networks, to central communication communications, if necessary, they can float autonomously (for example, when moving to another parking place). However, it is quite difficult to repair such a floating object. "Debarcader needs to be periodically raised on the stock and examine the skin for leaks. This is quite expensive if there is no possibility to carry out these work using stamels, but diving work for identifying and eliminating leaks do not give a complete picture of the quality of the repair work," says Mikhail Bulls.
"Any of these types of floating houses can be equipped with the necessary infrastructure to live in it. round year. For example, you can put a seabed toilet with a manual descent or put a 100 liter tank. But for this, the owner needs to consider the scheme of the entrance of the assessing agent to the house or adjust the flooding of the pumping point, "advises the commercial director of Mikija (creates at home on water) Dmitry Sobyanyakov.
How much are houses on the water
"The safety of the debarkaadeter depends on the materials and technologies used in its construction, engineering infrastructure systems, but most importantly - from the properly built foundation. You need to buy debarkaders after carrying out a technical audit," Oksana Diveeva warns.
The cost of such a project depends on the size, quality of construction and engineering equipment. "Estimated cost of construction" floating House"It starts from 2 million rubles, and in some cases the price comes to $ 3 million," said the expert from Blackwood.
It is impossible to register in the "floating house", but it can be registered in the State Inspectorate on Mulberry Ships as Flood. This requires the presence of lights and rescue equipment on board. Problems during registration may occur if the size of the house exceeds 20 m in length. With this size, it is already necessary to contact the river register.
Vera Kozubov
It will hard to find a person who would not like to relax next to water. What about living next to the water? A bold project on this expense presented a designer and architect Maxim Zhisov.
People do not often remember that almost 71 percent of the surface of our planet is covered with water. In the conditions of the ever-growing population, the day is the day when it may be necessary to truly settle on the water. Serious studies on this topic is almost not carried out, nevertheless, the area of \u200b\u200b"surface" architecture develops at the expense of enthusiasts. Most recently, they presented a new luxurious concept of housing on the water, which was obtained by a modest name Hydrohouse. Developed this project was an architect Maxim Life together with the Baikal Yachts Group team.
We must admit that not so often architects create something really creative when it comes to houses on the water. In our own cases, the house turned out to be really interesting, immediately for several reasons. First of all, the Hydrohouse concept offers a sufficient level of comfort, for people living in a similar house.
It truly surprises Hydrohouse in that it moves not only on water, like the ferry, but also on land. Immediately not yourself. To carry a floating house from place to seats, you can with a truck with a trailer. It adds several points to mobility and versatility at home. Once on the water house, can drift, and maybe it's on the pier.
With all the same, the dwelling itself is a pier! You can make it not only boats, boats and yachts, but even a plane capable of landing. Of course, such a luxury is not every pocket, but much more important is that innovative Hydrohouse demonstrates all those opportunities that can be implemented when it comes to the construction of floating housing.
Question " Where should be your home?"No more relevant.
Everywhere, anywhere!
Our company has begun to produce houses that can move around the water. And this is not a yacht and not plander. This is rather floating island or a luxurious house.
Why should the house be on the water?
Because almost all over the world, the dwelling on the water is not subject to taxes. You can place your home in the center of Moscow or New York, Sydney or Barcelona on absolutely legal grounds. Only in some cities, such as Venice or Amsterdam, where people living on water are very much, you can get permission only for temporary parking. In the rest of the world, the duration of your stay in one country or another is regulated only by the duration of your visa there. But more than 90% of the most calm and warm countries do not limit your dates in the country at all. And in such a country, more than 10 million only Russian-speaking people with a long-term entry visa are fully lived with decades.
Why just not buy a big yacht?
Because the yacht size with our house is much more expensive. And live for a long time or constantly more convenient in the house, and not on the yacht. In addition, motor yachts are not able to overcome the ocean, but to control sailing yacht Such sizes require a whole team. Our houses will easily get down to Miami and on.
And if the house flies on a stone and drown?
The body of our house is built according to the modern technology. It consists of hundreds filled with polyurethane. Even if you break through the housing through or cut the saw of a large piece of the case or simply pour water from the hose inside, the house will continue to swim unchanged. It is just like trying to drown a thick sheet of foam. In it you can pick holes or break into several pieces, it will still swim.
What are the size of the house?
Standard house 20 m long and 10 m. Width in three levels.
The house consists of:
A large living room with a kitchen area, a dining table, sofas, a large plasma panel.
Two guests (or children's) rooms with bathrooms.
Large master bedroom with King Size bed, and separate bathroom.
Open upper veranda with awning, jacuzzi and garden.
An open veranda for sunburn on medium deck.
Open circular veranda around the house.
The inner deck for storing an inflatable boat, a hydrocycle, motodeltaplan, surfing, bicycles and electrical cuters.
HOW MUCH IS?
Since it cannot be the goods of the piece and two identical houses, then the ultimate cost of the house consists of a variety of nuances discussed with the customer at the design stage.
The cost of the unique case does not exceed polmil. US dollars. To this it is necessary to add internal decoration, as well as household and navigation equipment.
Where to take electricity, water and so on?
Our house is absolutely autonomist! It is not required to connect any coastal communications. (although technically and it is possible)
- Electricity gives solar panels with a total capacity of 15 kW, which accumulates in special helium batteries.
Sea water cleaners allow you to save water.
Cleaning system wastewater It is adjusted to the possibility of secondary use.
Climatic installations allow you to adjust the temperature and humidity individually in each room.
The kitchen is equipped with a large refrigerator with a freezer and an autonomous manufacturer of ice; induction cooking panel with oven; Microwave and set of household equipment (mixers, combines, juicers, etc.).
How can the house throw the ocean?
It is assumed that the overwhelming amount of time (more than 95%), the house does not move anywhere. (however, like most yachts). He is in some picturesque bay. However, for the movement there is a lot of opportunities.
In order not to rush to slide along the coast, the house has 4 absolutely silent electric motors. They allow you to move with a speed of 5 knots (9 km / h.) All day.
For faster movements or in poor weather conditions, there are two economical diesel engines that allow the house to move along the sea at a speed of 14 nodes (the usual cruise liner speed).
But to proceed the ocean, a sail is required. Our house has no sail, but wings, like a plane. Therefore, there are no headquarters, want, fals, shkotov and other indispensable accessories of sails.
Wings perform the functions of the sail when it is required, and the functions of the awning of parking. In total, the house has three wings. In the working position, the wing rises in 4 seconds with a hydraulic line. To do this, click the button. The computer exhibits the wing to the optimal angle of the wind attack, and supports automatically this angle of overdeveloped from the direction of movement of the house.
It remains to set only the direction of movement and the autopilot will fulfill all the work for you at the steering wheel. The global positioning system will allow you to track the direction of movement of all vessels in your area, and they see you, avoiding collisions.
And if the storm?
Currently, only vessels come to the storm, which are forced to strictly adhere to the movement route. You can always evade the storm. After all, a storm or hurricane is local. You will have permanent information about their finding and trajectory of movement. And only you make a decision to go to the storm or not.
But even if you decide to go through the storm, then this is not a tragedy, but rather an adventure. You do not need to stand on the steering wheel. You will admire through the window on how your home slowly breaks through the element.
I do not carry a hard hat!
However, like most people
Our house has a trimaran body shape, i.e. The least persuaded ship. On the parking pitching will not be completely. For movements, you can pick up calm weather.
For two million Dollars I can buy a house on the coast in any country of the world!
Of course, but it will be only one house. And you will live in another country. And with the world to communicate in the tour. trips.
The concept of our house allows you, not worsening the comfort of your dwelling, "try on" the whole globe on yourself. Live at all years in the states and then slightly move to the bagoma or go to the year in New Zealand. You do not want to hang out in the ocean for three weeks? Tell me about it and we will overcome your home to the new parking place, and you fly by plane.
How much is standing at home?
Paid parking exists only in yacht clubs. Yachtsmen is forced to enter them for refueling with water and electricity, to access the coastal soul and washing machines.
All this you have in the house better quality. Therefore, buying these services at the yacht club you do not have.
The coastal wall is usually free, therefore it is always tightly forced by yachts. But you have a trump card that will help you find free place, almost in any city. The minimum sediment at the yacht is 1.5 meters, our house has only 50 centimeters. That is, if the waters are knee-deep, it is enough for you. And places in shallow water are always free.
For the same reason, you easier to find a place on the raid, because you can stand always closer to the shore than yachts. Standing on anchor (or on a raid) on the yacht is not very comfortable, because the anchor is alone and depending on the direction of the wind yacht turns around the anchor around the anchor. Our house rises 4! Anchors from each angle, so it is concrete, as an oil platform in the ocean.
What about communication?
Only satellite communications can work in the ocean. Today, the satellite phone is not worth more than an iPhone. Also through the satellite you can use expensive Internet. But for the mail is quite acceptable.
If you are not standing on an uninhabited island, then you always have 3G and Wi-Fi using antenna and amplifier. After all, in almost all cafes on the embankment there is a free field that will be pregnant to your home thanks to the equipment.
But if you were brought to a uninhabited island, then to order a lobster for dinner I just need to dive. All the necessary equipment for this is in the house.
And there is also a hydro-moto-deltaplan, where you can fly around the island, or drive it on the high-speed inflatable motorcycle. All this is equipped with a house.
To move on land in the house there are electrical cuters. Almost everywhere you can ride on the roads without registration.
What is confirmed by ownership of my home?
The house is registered by B. Russian Federation On you as a non-profit vessel. It complies with all the requirements for such vessels and has a certificate of conformity issued by the state body. The tax, according to the legislation of the Russian Federation, is charged for horsepower, and their house is less than in the car. Therefore, the annual tax for a luxury home is less than the ordinary car.
Registration and appropriate certificate (ship-ticket) confirms your rights as the legal owner of the house.
How long is such a house?
The house builds 6 months and approximately the same amount of household and navigation equipment is installed. That is, the approximate duration of construction one year with amendment at the time of year.
Strip the home on the Mediterranean is somewhere two months. During this time, the house is actively tested in all modes.

Personal experience: How to move to live on a yacht and do not hate
The former editor-in-chief of the Internet newspaper The Village St. Petersburg Anna Balagorova, a little less than a year ago, threw a career and work in the office to go with her husband across the Atlantic. On the website of the "Snob" magazine, it leads a detailed blog about his adventures, and we told us about how to get used to life on a ship while the ocean crossed.
I first ended up on a sailing boat a year and a half ago. For some ridiculous accident, in Helsinki, during the Flow festival. My girlfriend somehow picked up the guys from St. Petersburg, who arrived there to chase. We were naturally invited to join, but only as disgraced - we did not fit for anything else. It seems, a girlfriend was then requested "Mainat Spinker in Kisu". I was ridiculous, and it was almost buried under the sail.
Then at the next chance I met my future husband - a yacht instructor. We drank a lot, said about how we want to live and travel. In general, they were defined extremely romantically and agreed that the sailing boat was the perfect option for both of us. This is simultaneously transport that moves by nature (that is, free of charge), a house anywhere in the world (also inexpensive), and even the opportunity to earn, teaching or just a person. It sounded like a good plan, and we decided not to give up.
It remained to choose and buy a boat. The requirements were somewhat - the reliable yacht for the oceans (the so-called Blue Water Cruiser), in the Mediterranean Sea (so that you can get to the Canar without entering the evil Biskay and La Mans), worth up to 60,000 euros (so that there is a little on the upgrade) and, Of course, in good condition. Through the Internet, we found several practically ideal options in Sweden twice as cheaper than planned. But all these north seas ... In general, we were lazy, because it was June, and in November we were going to start in transatlantic. We bought your Westerly 1985 in Greece. Solid English shipyard, master-pedants, beer discovery on the step, again. I immediately felt like a sympathy for this neat and a thorough boat, to her funny chubby owners who stressed without constraints that they didn't like a strong wind, and yet - what the grill would take, because without the grill their summer will be spoiled.
Some paper rolls with a boat formulation for accounting and insurance - and in July we began to slowly move towards Gibraltar with stops in pleasant coastal cities, from the Suede Sicilian resorts to the magnificent Syracuse and Palma de Mallorca. So began my life on the boat.
The first thing I had to get used to - roll and pitching. How to live when your world is taundic for 30 degrees? How to sleep when you hurl from side to side? Well, let's say you are not in the transition, but on an anchor parking lot, but you, damn, it still shakes, the same water! You go to the ground - we shake down the habit. After transition across the ocean, I almost ceased to pay attention to it. First, I quit Zen from the realization that in open water would have to hang out at least three weeks. Secondly, pancakes and fried potatoes also like a five-meter wave, so it had to get out. Remember - sometimes on the anchor parking lots pumps almost like in the middle of the Atlantic. So if you want to live on a yacht - train the vestibular device. At least on the carousels.
Learn to economically spend water. If you are not overly rich and can not afford an extra 400-500 euros per month for comfortable marina, get used to spending 10 liters of water on the overhaul of themselves (in the ocean on the body and hair I grab 2-3, but it's too in Spartan ). There is no speech about to wash the dishes or wash with fresh water, and speech - all living water cranes have been installed on the yacht (although we are erased in the laundry and we all use paper plates). There is one disputed moment here - all life products are thrown out of the yacht straight into the sea. The so-called gray water (from the dishes and soul) can be merged almost in any corner of the world. Black water (from the toilet) in many countries require to save in boat tanks on a boat and pump off in specially reserved places. In the amount all this sounds terribly deluso. Shit, divorced in water, where is harmless than Fairi or alkaline shampoos. On the yacht, I try to use environmentally friendly household chemicals and cosmetics, but rather for complacency. Because on the scale of the world ocean, it is just ridiculous.
In addition to water, you will have to save electricity. We travel in sunny regions Therefore, for our needs (refrigerator, recharging phones and laptops, light, autopilot) almost always grabs two solar panels. Many windmills and water turbines are installed on boats - universally, but not expensive. We also have a cleric - an incredibly useful thing that gives full autonomy from the coast. True, distilled water can not be drunk too long due to the complete absence of the useful substances contained in the usual. We refuel full tanks every time there is such an opportunity. 350 liters of water will be enough for us more than 2 weeks.
Those who live on the water should be periodically selected on the shore - not everyone is sitting at home. For this purpose usually use a small inflatable boat. With a motor or vests (although I saw two girls who were ignored and rowed on the canaks). It is almost impossible to exit this enterprise with dry back. So, imagine: early saturday morning, you fall out of the bar. What's next? That's right, you sit down in a taxi to go home to sleep. And I am delirious on the beach or the embankment in search of my breakfast boot, overnight turning into an inflatable pool, entering an unequal battle with a wave, jellyfish, the engine, even more sluggish than me. In general, one incorrect movement and a boat on your head. Recently, we forgot to take it with yourself, the first time in my life. Of course, back path We have died the motor, the first time in life. We are stuck on your inflatable hernia in the middle of the bay in the heart of Bridgetown, where at this time the 50th anniversary of the independence of Barbados was celebrated. Under the hinting crowd from the embankment, they buried his hands and after 40 minutes were on the yacht (the path under the engine is the minutes of three). Ridiculous situations in which you find yourself, accommodating anchor, do not affect the score.
School captains
Each can become captain of a sailing vessel - only a desire and a good instructor need. "The Strength of the Wind" will teach you everything that you need to know and be able, and after passing the exam, I will give the right of international class. Theoretical courses we spend in the center of Moscow, and practice - in the Mediterranean Sea and in Canaries. Come to classes!
Otherwise, everything is at home or rather in the country. Bedroom with a large bed, a living room with a large table, the Internet (we have an antenna amplifier to steal Wi-Fi from coastal cafes), even an oven (for storing pan). In the cabin hanging a telephone - exclusively for watching movies and serials. Columns are displayed in the cockpit so that you can dance on the deck or simply arrange a feast. What about pyruys - yachtsmen do not fool a drink at all. One of the terms included in my use after moving to a boat - Sundowner - means "a glass of alcohol, drunk at sunset." Another term invented my husband - Polish Yachting. This is when you take a boat for rent for a week and have never come out of Marina, because you drink all day. It is clear from the name that they are in the main Poles, not we.
Any Reiser will plun into my face, seeing what my boat turns into anchor parking. A hammock hangs on the spinnamer-guy, a bucket is tied to the shirk whipper (well, to dry it), cowards are dry. Everywhere, books and clothes are lying around, the kitchen is becoming a bunch of smaller things - it happens to everyone who hangs in one place, more than a few days. After a couple of weeks in the parking lot, it is difficult to make yourself go out into the sea. Laziness to collect everything, fasten, lay off the lockers. Reluctance to mess with anchor, then with sails. Well, if you need to go for a short time and with a good wind. Transitions for more than a day in our case turn into flooding yachting. Long hours of procrastination on the deck, and then - a sudden change of wind, glowing, breakdown Shkot, running under the sorrowing cries of the captain. The first time I was led to a stupor that the captain is actually my husband. I still do not understand what he is so yelling! They say almost all skippers behave in a similar way, whatever cute people were in ordinary life. In the US, there is a yacht school for women, with owners and teachers by women. So, their slogan is "no shout". It seems to me that it is very cool and right.
In many yacht blogs, I read that after life on the yacht it is difficult to return to the cities, because the boat gives a feeling of freedom and all that, and the city subordinates itself, leaves only the illusion of choice. It seems to me, in many ways it is a lucavia. To balance between an unfortunate gypsy life on the yacht and maintaining a boat in a suitable condition for serious transitions, money is needed, quite large at the current rate. And it means that it is impossible to exclude itself from the circle of capitalist relations. To some extent, you become a slave of your own boat. If you want to drastically change the situation, you need money not only for yourself, but also on the parking lot of the yacht. The apartment can be locked up and forget, and leave the yacht to hang out anchor and just dump can only be a pretty careman. The most painless, in my opinion, the scenario is: half a year, while in Europe there is good weather, travel, stopping by anchor, and for the winter to put a boat in an inexpensive marina (if you search, then you can meet at 600-700 euros for 6 months) and leave Work home. With more exotic places So it will not work - to fly expensive, leave the boat is even more expensive. If everything is tired, you are in a hopeless situation.
A large bonus of own yacht in Europe is an opportunity to almost endless abroad, without worrying about a visa. If without unnecessary details - to put a stamp about the exit to any of the EU countries. This is done either in the local police station, or in the passenger port. And there, and there are more things there are more than you with your visa, so the seals put, without looking. At the arrival in the next country, you can "accidentally forget" as long as you need to fly home. Such an unexpected loophole still does not fit in my head, because we are all accustomed to serious control in airports and on the ground borders. Caribbeans, on the contrary, turned out to be a rather bureaucratic place. Almost every Antille IslandsWhere we spend this winter, you need to issue documents for entry and departure. On Barbados, among other things, we were sent to the medical office, where I had to fill in the questionnaire with questions like "if you didn't have anyone on board" and "did not have the diarrhea team." But besides on paper there is no control. More than six months on our yacht never came inspections, although we have crossed half airs. Although slaves are taken, at least enriched uranium. In this sense, his own boat really gives certain freedom. Probably, therefore, the same-sex couples and all those whom on ideological or any other reasons have ceased to arrange life in modern cities, often travel on yachts.
