Inside the incredible concrete home in a rainforest built to withstand a category five cyclone

Daily Mail

A futuristic home that sits in the middle of a lake at the heart of a wild rainforest and is capable of withstanding a category five cyclone could well be the world’s most unique oasis.

The concrete retreat in Cape Tribulation in Queensland’s far north, is surrounded by lush greenery and located just a half kilometre from the nearest beach; it is also entirely energy-efficient and flood-resistant.   

Thanks to the property’s clever design, rainwater can be collected in the roof for inhabitants to use, while the property relies completely on solar power for energy. Raised ‘wings’ on either side of the main rooms also help to reduce the impact of high water levels, meaning owners can enjoy their home’s position at the centre of a lake without fearing the effect of flooding.

  1. It’s a shame that this government doesnt build something like this for its homeless, free water, free electrical doesnt make any goddamned sense!

    Our homeless people as well, easy beans.. we have engineers right here on our site, with the right resources could pop this out in no time. What homeless dont deserve a little happiness?

    You could turn this building into a homeless shelter and take care of what? 100 people? For a lousy 9 mill?

    We have realestate flippers that buy and sell hotels, they steal this much every year, put it straight into their goddamn pockets!

    I will never rest until we start to see these types of structures for our homeless, easy maintenance, free utilities, what is so difficult about this?

    Fkg sickening…

    1. It makes sense when one comes to terms with the fact that they don’t give a sh*t about the American people, let alone the homeless. What this international criminal mafia crime syndicate cares about is mammon and more mammon and power.
