¨##¨¨#¨#¨#   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.             ¨#¨¨#¨#¨##
