A small but significant house in the U.K. is substantially complete and set to be occupied next month.
The 225-sq-meter cottage, located on a flood-prone island 10 m from the edge of the River Thames in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, is the U.K.'s first amphibious house—but likely not its last. Called Formosa, the house, which sits on the ground, has a concrete tub-like basement foundation that floats during floods.
