abstract: “What is the feasibility of the realization of floating homes as adaptive flood risk management strategy?”. In the dense Netherlands, a question that may hold interest. 
This was researched by conducting a series of interviews with project leaders for various projects involving floating houses. 
From this research, it can be concluded that all technical problems with floating homes regarding water level differences can be solved, though no data about extreme differences could be collected due to the nature of the existing projects. The houses are generally seen as an addition to spatial quality or a way to use living on the water as a quality of a home. For now, floating homes are too expensive to realize as social rent, though cheaper housing is possible when a neighborhood has a high density. Another conclusion from the research is that floating homes may be a feasible solution to other spatial questions.
