,,,,,&&,,, created in the twenty eighties as a ,,&&&&&&&,
&&&&,,,,&, cheap and open source way of dealing &,,&&&&&,,
,&&,,&&,,, with constant floods and a rising sea ,,,,&&&,,,

,&&&&&&,,, ,,,,,,,,,,
,,&&&&,,&& the "house" would consist of a stack of &&&&&&&&&&
,,,&&,,,,& floor modules, each a square of thirty &&&&&&&&&,
&&,,,,&&,, six square meters. these could be made ,&&&&&&&,,
,,,&&,,,,, out of various materials such as carbon ,,&&&&&,,,
&&,,,,&&&& fiber or plastic, not necessarily the &,,&&&,,&&
&,,&&,,&&& same for each floor. ,,,,&,,,,&
,,,,,,,,&, &&&,,,&&,,
&&&&&&&,,, the house would be hung on a "mast", a &&,,&,,,,&
&&&&&&,,&& ridged metal pole extending between ,,,,,,&&,,
,&&&&,,,,& fifty and a hundred meters. a mechanism &&&&&,,,,,
,,&&,,&&,, within each floor would enable them to &&&&,,&&&&
,,,,,,,,,, climb up or down the mast, together or &&&,,,,&&,
&&&&&&&&&& individually. ,&,,&&,,,,
,&&&&&&&&& ,,,,,,,&&,
,,&&&&&&&, the lowest floor would usually have a ,&&&&&,,,,
&,,&&&&&,, loading dock, a balcony/front door, and ,,&&&,,&&&
,,,,&&&,,, various ladders. &,,&,,,,&&
