Increasing population has resulted in increased housing needs, but currently the available land for housing is decreasing. In addition, climate change has resulted in rising sea levels. With these three problems, it is necessary to develop a place to live with limited land and utilize the potential of Indonesian waters. The efforts that have been made by the current government by building settlements vertically, but have not been able to meet the needs of the residence. One type of house that can be developed by utilizing the potential of the waters is floating houses. A floating house is a residential building that is built on water by applying floating structures, materials, and shapes to suit the construction site. The floating house will function properly with proper planning, especially in the selection of technology at the bottom, floats, and the stability of the building above the water. Besides technology, other things that need to be taken into consideration are the selection of materials and the selection of the type of structure that will be applied. This technological innovation is expected to be able to meet the needs of residences that can utilize the territorial waters.
