Arkup was designed with the ingenious engineering feature of four hydraulic pilings that stabilize the vessel on the sea floor or allow it to lift like a house on stilts above floodwaters.


The finishing touches have been put on a floating mansion that can withstand rising sea levels and Category Four hurricanes of up to 155mph after years of development.

The Arkup was designed by Dutch architecture firm Waterstudio.NL and will cost a whopping $5.5 million to own.

The property - propped up on hydraulic stilts measures 75ft-long comprising 4,350sq ft of open-plan space including a lounge, dining area, kitchen and bathroom.

Upstairs, there are a total of four bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom.


The hydraulic stilts can be deployed to a depth of 20 ft to stabilize the dwelling or lift it above the water line to avoid waves and reduce hull maintenance.

The mansion comes with an outdoor area perfect for catching a tan and hosting parties.

Bedroom and bathtub.

There's a lot of other tech installed in the Arkup too, including a solar panel array and up to 1,000 kWh battery bank that Arkup says is sufficient to power it off-the-grid.

Rainwater is collected from the roof and purified for drinking, and solar panels are used to power the internet, TV, radio and electric cooker.


The home is propelled by a pair of 100 kW (134 hp) electric azimuth thrusters, allowing it to reach 7 knots.

Titanic comes to mind

Arkup is for sale, $5.5m.

Na this kind Vanity I dey pray for.

Forget, oyibos can chop life, abeg.
1.9Billion Naira mansion with only 4 bedrooms. An average Nigerian billionaire would buy 500 hectares of land, still snatch innocent poor people's land join, build like 30 buildings inside with over 600 rooms. Asif they will sleep in all the rooms. Rooms they will never allow anyone to sleep inside. Our own dey our body for this country

Nice

The firm too get sense, atleast they didn’t declare it as indestructible but rather they specified the category of hurricane it can withstand!!!
Unlike the story about the man who built the titanic ship boasting of how indestructible it is!

This is indeed a floating mansion!

Money Laundering.......................

EFCC right now eavesdropping ND watching out for the first Nigerian that's gonno own such...

Chai! Who's gonno be the scape goat?.

But can the glass withstand all that though? Even if the building is not washed away, it will be in ruins.
