Boathouse cleans water using floating planters
    2018-03-14  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

豪华船屋用植物净水

A U.S. couple in Seattle has created a stunning zero-energy boathouse, dubbed “Houseboat H,” which uses floating plastic islands to clean the water around it.

As well as filtering the water, the planters allow the roots of native plants to grow underwater, creating a habitat for fish and other sea creatures.

These growing aquatic habitats can be seen from a large window in the basement of the home, which also has a wine cellar.

The houseboat is the work of architect Michelle Lanker and her husband Bill Bloxom at Lanker Design and is docked on Washington’s Lake Union.

Lanker explained how houseboat culture has always included responsible stewardship of lakes and waterways. “While passive eco-friendly design was incorporated through deep eaves for shade provided by roofs and single story spaces with many windows for ventilation, as these houses have aged and have needed upkeep; many have still not embraced the technological side of environmental design.”(SD-Agencies)
