structmod floating houses are purpose-designed amphibious prefabricated structures for deployment on water — lakes, rivers, reservoirs and coastal sheltered waters. Each floating house unit is built on a buoyant pontoon platform with superstructure, full interior fit-out and all mechanical/electrical/plumbing systems self-contained. Floating houses from structmod offer a unique alternative to conventional waterfront accommodation — deployable without permanent foundations, relocatable to new water sites, and designed for off-grid or marina-connected utility supply. Floating house weight under 750 kg enables registration under light vessel regulations in many countries.
structmod manufactures all floating houses at its 54,000 m² production facility in Ankara, Turkey, and delivers worldwide. Lead time is 8–14 weeks from order confirmation. All units are factory-tested before shipment and include full technical documentation, material certifications and a 2-year structural warranty.
Expert Floating Houses Manufacturer
Factory-built quality
Every floating house is built in a controlled factory environment — not on site. This means consistent dimensional accuracy, no weather delays, and quality inspection at every stage before delivery.
Worldwide delivery
structmod has delivered floating houses to clients in more than 40 countries. Each unit is packaged for international transport and arrives ready to install with minimal on-site work.
Full documentation
Every floating house delivery includes structural drawings, material certifications, MEP schematics, factory acceptance test report, and an O&M manual — everything needed for building permit applications and ongoing maintenance.
Customisation available
Interior finishes, cladding colours, door and window positions, MEP configurations — all adaptable to your project. Contact structmod to discuss your specific requirements.
Floating Houses — Construction Standard
All structmod floating houses are manufactured to EN 1090 EXC-2 structural standards with hot-rolled or cold-formed steel frames depending on the model. Exterior cladding options include aluminium composite, fibre cement, thermally treated wood and metal panels — all tested for weather resistance and thermal performance. Interior fit-out includes laminat parket or ceramic flooring, painted wall finishes and fitted kitchen/bathroom packages.
Thermal insulation uses mineral wool (stone wool) or PIR foam panels achieving U-values of 0.25–0.40 W/m²K in walls and 0.15–0.25 W/m²K in roof — suitable for all climate zones. MEP systems are pre-installed: 220/380V electrical wiring, PEX water supply plumbing, PVC drainage and split-unit HVAC provisions. Electrical installations comply with IEC 60364 and local equivalent standards.
structmod floating houses are designed for earthquake zone 1 (Ao = 0.40g per TBDY 2019) and wind speeds up to 140 km/h. All units are factory-inspected and come with a 2-year structural warranty. Optional 5-year extended warranty packages are available.
Floating Houses — Frequently Asked Questions
What water depth is required for a structmod floating house?
Minimum water depth depends on the pontoon draught of the specific model — typically 0.4–0.8 m. structmod floating houses are anchored with mooring lines and/or anchors appropriate to the water body. Shore connection via a floating gangway is included in the standard package.
Are structmod floating houses suitable for year-round living?
Yes. Floating houses are insulated for year-round occupancy with heating, cooling and ventilation systems included. Plumbing systems include anti-freeze provisions for cold climates. Models weighing under 750 kg (O1 class) offer simplified regulatory registration for recreational use.
What utility connections are required?
Floating houses can connect to marina shore power (230/400V), shore water supply and shore waste discharge — or operate off-grid with solar, battery and rainwater/grey water systems. Contact structmod to specify your utility configuration based on the deployment site.
