Case study
Description
Faisal is a successful architect who is trying to use the extra time that he has during the coronavirus crisis in a simple way. He decides to focus on an ambitious new project. In this project, he and his team of architects, engineers, and developers will build a house specifically for living on the sea. It will be stable and safe in waves up to five meters high. A family of five will be comfortable living in it. Faisal and his team decide to make the house simple but beautiful. Since real estate can be expensive, Faisal decides to make the house cost less than USD 400,000. There will be a dock that will be attached to it which can lift boats out of the water and automatically wash them, in order to keep them from rusting. To make it so that it could float in areas close to cities in the Arabian Gulf, the house is designed so that it does not need water any deeper than two meters deep in order to be stable and floating. To help the family to be able to travel back and forth comfortably to their floating home in any type of weather, Faisal offers a special boat that can handle high waves.
