20130501_IMG_5880.jpg The Netherlands are notoriously flat and low lying, with 50% of the country lying below sea level. Climate change is leading to both sea level rise and increased flooding, both of which threaten poperties. One solution is to build floating houses, that rise and fall with altering water levels. Ijburg, a suberb of Amsterdam is the floating house capital, with increasing numbers of flaoting houses being constructed. This shot shows a flaoting house with solar panels.
