Amphibious
Living

BACA designed the UK's first amphibious house on the banks of the River Thames — a home that sits on dry land but floats when floodwaters rise. Today we design amphibious, floating and flood-resilient homes for riversides, coasts and lakes.

Rather than building walls against water, we design homes that work with it: gardens that store floodwater, buoyant foundations and living spaces raised to safety without losing their connection to the landscape.
