We all have read about nomadic tribes or people sometime in our academic life. Now it’s possible to be a Nomad again comfortably with the help of technology that allows you to move your home. And yes it’s not like those trailers or caravans but your proper modern homes. NEAPO has made it possible with a 40 feet long three storeyed office building, which is officially the world’s first mobile building.
The building weighs about 440,000 pounds and was placed in a raft near Turku, southeast coast of Finland using a crane. This 9,300-square-foot apartment building is totally mobile and is transportable via land and water both. It was constructed using specially patented steel which gives the building the same strength as a conventional cement building would have, thus allowing it to be much lighter in comparison. A traditional cement building would have been approximately five times heavier than this one. To give you and idea of its strength and sturdiness, the building is earthquake proof as well.
The builders, NEAPO, plan to move the building to some other location on the coast from its current location once the renting period of the current inhabitant on the mobile building expires. Well the rate at which global warming is melting ice in the Antarctic, we feel it’s a pretty good idea for the future. 😉
