&,&,&,&,&, 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. ,&,&&,&,&,
