Uyilo Lwezakhiwo Zokuhlala I-Floating House likhaya elinemigangatho emithathu elikwiNtili eseMbindini yaseCosta Rica. Esi sakhiwo silinganiselwa kwiimitha ezisikweri ezingama-400 kwaye sibekwe kwindawo esethambekeni lenduli. Iindlela zoyilo ezingasebenzisi mandla (passive design) zikhokela le projekthi, kuquka ukubekwa ngokweemfuno zendawo kunye nokusetyenziswa kobutyebi bendalo. Iindlela zokwakha zemizi-mveliso nezenziwe kwangaphambili zidityaniswa nezinto zokwakha ezivunwe ekuhlaleni nezihlaziyekayo. Uphahla olude olungaphandle lukhusela izithuba ezingezantsi kwimvula nakwimitha yelanga. Amandla elanga aqokelelwa eluphahleni. Iigadi ezisezinqanabeni kunye neebhalkoni zijonge kwimbonakalo yendalo ejikelezileyo.
