Based on our field researches in the Manila Bay, the Philippines, we have designed the Finch Floating Home. Using a barrel-floating foundation and prefabricated design, the home is designed based on the common housing wishes of a Philippine family. We focus on combining the qualities of healthy and sustainable design with the use of local materials and local prefabrication. The homes are built locally in a factory and assembled on location. This guarantees the quality of the homes and allows for rapid upscaling.
With our Philippine partners and TU Delft, we have built and tested the first pilot home.
