Floating settlements could become more and more popular. The main reason that this type of settlements could became a future of housing is that it doesn’t requires a fixed land where homes could be built and, if we speak about particular homes, they are very mobile and can be moved easily. Here you can find 5 awarded designs of floating settlements at Seasteading contest.

The fifth place is awarded to this design. This floating settlement contains a modern city square and it is more like floating town. This design also won the peoples’ choice award.

This design won award for best exterior design. This structure is shaped to use maximum of wind and solar energy. It is covered by solar panels. It is completely closed.

From the photo that has been provided, you can see that this settlement is still in construction. No, it is not mistake made by designers, they created a basic design of a sea settlement that it is not actually floating but it is fixed into the ground. Designers wanted to create a design that can be expanded without limitations and this is what they created in that manner.

This settlement reminds me on some of those incredible buildings that are used to be built in Dubai. It rather looks like a giant floating luxury hotel. This design won a best picture award.
