Floating Concepts, a Manchester-based company promoting such developments, this month installed its first "show boat" in Coburg Dock, Liverpool, north-west England, ahead of a planned scheme, and is seeking a 150-year lease on 4.5 acres of Salford Quays, Manchester, on which to build a modular houseboat-style, mixed-use scheme. Floating homes are similarly under consideration as part of plans by the Dublin Docklands Development Authority.
"Floating homes or houseboats seem a much better use of redundant docklands than filling them in and building on them," argues David Beard, Floating Concepts' Chief Executive. "It is still a radical idea to some. It's building on water. You just need a different kind of foundation."
