RE: Arkup livable yacht - Self-lifting floating home that withstands CAT 4 hurricane
well there are some design weaknesses in my opinion -for example you need to touch the ground in order to make the house stable so its not for deep water places- but the concept and idea definitely is a need and make sense in many other ways. Maybe smaller but easy to construct versions can be more succesful. Great Hunt nevertheless!
Making the house stable is not a main concern because it is designed to float. So I won't call it a weakness if it is part of the design.
well maybe I can call it with something else instead of a design weakness but if one of the claim is hurricane protection than ground stabilization is one of the features must be they rely on.
Again, it is a floating house so it is not expected to be stable. And its floating feature is actually one of the reasons why it can withstand hurricane because it won't be fighting too much against the strength of the calamity.
Anyway, you have your own opinion.
