A house on the water is a dream for many people who desire close contact with nature while enjoying modern conveniences. Our mobile homes on special floating platforms offer a unique opportunity to fulfill this dream. Thanks to innovative solutions, we can provide a comfortable and environmentally friendly place to live on the water.
Living on the water is a new dimension of comfort and freedom. Our Floating Platform allows us to place our modern Mobile Homes like the MERKURY 1 on the water, offering customers unlimited choices for their dream living location. With this innovative platform, we can enjoy the proximity of nature and the tranquility of a water environment without giving up the convenience of city life.
Furthermore, living on the water not only means being in contact with nature but also saving space. That’s why our mobile homes on floating platforms are the ideal solution for those who value convenience and functionality while also aiming to minimize their environmental impact. Thanks to this innovative concept, our water-based homes set a new standard in living, combining ecology with modern design. It’s a place where you can live close to nature without giving up the luxury and comfort offered by urban living.
Expanding the Possibilities of Living
Our Floating Platform allows for the flexible placement of the Mobile Home on water, which means we are not limited to traditional plots of land. Now, we can live by the sea, lake, river, artificial reservoir, or canal, choosing the dream location. Thanks to this innovation, there is no need to give up the proximity to the city center, as rivers and bodies of water are available almost everywhere. It's the perfect opportunity to live in harmony with nature, surrounded by beautiful water bodies.
Fees and Platform Construction
Using a floating unit incurs fees comparable to property tax, making this solution financially attractive. Our platforms have been designed with exceptional stability and weather resistance in mind. Therefore, the construction is based on five rectangular-shaped floats made from polystyrene blocks covered with a layer of polyurethane, ensuring exceptional durability and reliability.

Floating Homes in Practice
What You Need to Know
Waterfront homes are a growing trend in European cities. Modern systems that enable this solution are completely safe and reliable. It’s worth considering where this fascinating trend comes from and why it’s gaining increasing popularity.
The idea of living on water has a long history, dating back thousands of years. In the past, many cultures and communities used water surfaces to build their homes. However, today’s living on the water combines this tradition with modern design and technology.
The history of houses on water has its roots in various parts of the world, but the Netherlands is especially known for its traditional houses on the water, called „Dutch houses.” These distinctive buildings are mainly found in the Zaanse Schans region and around Amsterdam. These traditional Dutch houses on the water were originally used as residential buildings and warehouses. Their construction was based on wooden piles driven into the water’s bottom and wooden frames on which houses were placed. Today, many of these traditional Dutch houses are tourist attractions and an important part of Dutch culture.
Modern Technologies: Modern technologies such as stable floating platforms, advanced waterborne house maintenance systems, and ecological solutions make living on the water more accessible and safer than ever before.
An Alternative to Traditional Living: Living on the water is also becoming an alternative to traditional city living. For many, this means the opportunity to combine a life in a tranquil natural setting with access to urban amenities.

Where can we launch the mobile home?
Houses can be launched on a river, calm river canal, lake, or reservoir.
Permits and Taxes
Our floating platforms are officially registered and have a hull number as well as permission from the Inland Waterway Office. Importantly, the fees associated with such a floating unit are comparable to property taxes, making living on the water more affordable than traditional land properties.
Water Launch Supervision
The process of launching houses on the water is rigorously supervised by our specialists, ensuring safety and professionalism at every stage. Our company takes all necessary measures to ensure that the entire operation is carried out in accordance with the highest standards and complies with all regulatory requirements.
Technical Matters
How are floating platforms made?
The process of protecting a floating platform with polyurea. More information on how polyurea works can be found here.
Our platforms are a system of five rectangular prism-shaped floats (dimensions: 6m in length, 2.45m in width, and 0.45m in depth, providing a surface area of 12.2m by 6m) with exceptionally high buoyancy, stability, and, thanks to their height, resistance to waves caused even by passing motorboats.
The platforms are made of styrofoam blocks, which are covered with a 2mm layer of polyurethane, ensuring exceptional resistance to extreme weather conditions for decades. Additionally, they are reinforced from the top with container frames, coated with anti-corrosion paint, and securely connected to each other using a special screw system. You can watch the video material on YouTube to get a closer look at our innovative solutions.
Our modular construction allows for individual space arrangement. With it, we can adapt the platform to your needs. We encourage you to contact us because our experienced partners in floating platform production will help you fulfill your dreams of living on the water, surrounded by nature, and away from neighbors.
Launching the House
The Key Moment in Fulfilling Dreams
Launching a mobile home on a floating platform is the moment when dreams of living on the water become a reality. Our company fully understands how significant this event is for our clients, which is why we provide comprehensive support at every stage of this process.
Preparation of the House and Floating Platform
At the beginning, the mobile home is carefully prepared for launching. Additionally, all structural elements are inspected for strength and safety. The floating platform is positioned in the appropriate location in the water. Typically, this is a dock in the vicinity of the intended location.
House Lifting
Using specialized equipment such as mobile cranes, the house is gently lifted from the trailer level and placed on the floating platform. Precise control over the lifting process is crucial and is carried out under our supervision to avoid any structural damage.
Security and Control
After placing the house on the platform, all necessary safety measures are activated. These are adjustable locks that fit into the corresponding sockets in the base of the house, preventing the house from shifting during water transport. Continuous monitoring and control of the process take place both from the land and from the platform.
Water Transport
After proper securing, the mobile home on the floating platform is ready for water transport. This allows us to move our structure to the desired location on the water at this stage. The speed and stability of the transport are closely monitored to ensure a safe delivery to the destination.
Final Placement
When the platform with the mobile home reaches the correct location on the water, the final placement stage begins. Specialists make every effort to ensure that the home is positioned according to the customer's preferences and in compliance with all safety requirements. After the launching process is complete, the customer can enjoy their own home on the water.
