The top-of-the-line model has a robust solar energy system, a wastewater treatment + mini supply water plant with advanced tertiary treatment and even stored fuel to achieve sustainability. There are two levels: the long floating deck, along with the accessible upper deck that doubles as its roof. Inside, there’s floor-to-ceiling windows in the living, which is lined with wood, a full kitchen, heat pump, AC generator, barbecue, wine cellar, pellet stove for heat during winter, and up to three bedrooms.

Two small outboard motors let users steer the floating home across the waters at a moderate speed of three knots (approximately three miles per hour),” reports Inhabitat.
