Maybe this is something for the Katrina ravaged cities and towns; when the water rises and there's no boat, never fear because your house can float - amphibious style that is.
The Dutch know all too well what happens when the water rises and their dykes can't hold up. Thirty seven of these amphibious houses are already strung along Maas. They look just like any ole' regular house except their foundation is a hollow platform with chambers, sort of like a big ship. The foundation is then anchored into the floor with large columns. The homes then float up and down on the columns when the water level rises.
The Dutch are also planning office buildings and public spaces based on the same technology. Eventually there may be 12,000 houses built close to Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, right on the waters.
Who would of thunk it . . . I guess you gotta be "high" to come up with something like this. Wait, Dutch and high? hummm
