URGENT, sorry this is dragging on , but I've delayed the deadline from my teacher, naughty me. Basically all im asking, why does the pontoon need a solid piece of concrete on he bottom of slab??????

Thank you angel, my deadline is this Wednesday. Just to confirm, a concrete pontoon, with pontoon piles(one on each corner of the square), and inside the pontoon, polypropylene tubes

also what type of dolphin, the one in picture looks nothing like the ones on google

also, why is polyethylene better than others, I have researched but can't find why

Thank you angel, my deadline is this Wednesday. Just to confirm, a concrete pontoon, with dolphins (one on each corner of the square), and inside the hollow pontoon, hollow polyethylene tubes? The house started on the pontoon

so what are normal dimensions for an individual dolphin, and would one dolphin in each corner be enough?

Thanks, I will make sure I use all your notes to elaborate. The house is approx 12m width by 12m height and 14m length, however I have a 6m extension patio to the house. Therefore width of the whole design is 18m. how would this affect the dimensions for the barge and dolphins

ok I will include that in my explanation. do you think there is any thing wrong with the sketch? would u include stuff? or is that basic enough to make it float. Also im not sure if you know much about materials, but would a roof of plastic work? (a special plastic btw)

hahaha yes I have given it in but its only a draft so I can still change. Weather was really bad in England on Wednesday, thurs, and Friday as it was snowing. Got 3 days off school hhaha. For the houses in Netherlands which the solid base yet on the river, how does it work? similar to the sketch...

yeh ok that makes sense

ahh ok, so the pipes and cabling runs under the bridge

thats very useful thank you, are the guides the ones posted under by Angelique? also what do you mean by services. I prefer seeing little sketches like that than really complicated explanations because I need to add the parts on my house

hhaha I know it seems vague but theres too many factors limiting my project if I use sustainability, availability and cost of materials. So I decided to have an open budget. My project is expensive anyway as im using glass and materials, which includes Pilkington glass films and I hoping to use...

thanks for the information, I will use this and see if I can incorporate it into my design. Luckily school is cancelled today due to snow so I have one last day haha

Look, you the only person online on this forum atm, and I need help urgently. yeh my project is stupid ik, but I need something which is possible, please

so is this floating and how would I stabilise it. I need a basic idea, but complex justification and explanation if you get me

Mate its a 16 year olds project, not a real planning application in London. Something tonight which is an easy idea for floating would be great thanks. Obviously im no architect, so help would be great thanks.

It is a project I have chosen myself, and I think everyone is overcomplicating it, im only 16, I have designed my house already, however to finish it off. I need a conclusion on what to have on the bottom and how it will work.

Err I guess flat ground on grass in England, open space. But if I was building on water, a lake would be easier as hurricanes would have less strength etc
