Jungle House :: AquaDomi™ A654 :: Exotic house on land The Jungle house is a big brother to The AquaDomi™ JungleHouseboat. The Jungle House is a 3 story villa with 3apartments in different sizes. At the beginning was TheJungle House thought as individual placed houses, but thedesign is suitable for groups and whole streets as well. TheJungle House contains nice and choosy cowered terracesand is suited for the conditions in the warmer countries.The windows are pulled back so the apartments will not beoverheated of the sun, and unnecessary energy will bewasted on cooling. The unique design gives greatpossibilities for placing sun cells in the roof construction andthereby receives a reasonable green energy contribution.

Type Z3

The main idea is to follow the principle about“center and front”. Room and terrace elementsare placed around the central base and can bearranged according to the customer’s needs andwishes. The AquaDomi™ circle system allows forindividual solutions (for singles and families) andfunctions (permanent habitation, office or summer house). The central base can be reducedor extended according to the need and thesituation. The round central base with a surface of28 m2 has kitchen, bathroom with separate toiletand technical room. A large sliding door supportsthe flexible and open use of the circle house, whichis also the reason for using glass fronts that can beopened almost entirely except by the supportingpillars. The external screens with adjustable lamellasprotect the house from sunlight and prevent thatpeople can look into the rooms from the outside.

Aqua CitiesMany municipalities transforming harbor areas into new ways of housing, which match the desire for new lifestyles, attractive housing, business and cultural environment at the waterfront. Whole new water-based urban quarters can be built and create harmony between town, harbor, water and inhabitants.

The floating house can be viewed as new kind of housing and a lifestyle, built on the individual house on the water

This creates life and the possibility for development and concentration, where the water and harbor can be used in a new and exciting way and the town's public areas of completely new dimensions.

Towns of floating houses are best placed in such a way that each owner has a good view over the water and the activities in the harbor and light and space around the house at the same time. AquaDomi™ can give you a recommendation of how to solve such a task and the necessary financial calculations.

The World

We build exclusive emotionsin new environments

For Example ‘The World’ DubaiAn engineering odyssey to create an island paradise of sea, sand and sky.

Engineered to be flexible and designed to be Unforgettable - an incomparable destination.The World exists harmoniously with the diversesurrounding sea and marine life that inhabitsit’s waters. This is the basis for the futurestandard towards the environment.

Building performance on these islands is anopportunity that is worlds apart in thecomparison of the construction process onconventional developments on land.

Basic Technical information

AquaDomi™ Pontoon bridges for Floating houses as common gangway in floating house communities. It adapts to the tide and everybody has the same access to the house.

AquaDomi™ Mooring Seaflex SystemAquaDomi™ recommends the use of the professional mooring systemSeaflex. The Seaflex system uses an elastic progressive mooring, whichis developed to cope with the tide. Seaflex causes the water level tochange slowly, but the progressive mooring can also cope with suddenwaves from passing boats.

AquaDomi™ Floating Part – Concrete PontoonAll AquaDomi™ floating houses are built on plastic-fiber concrete pontoons with hot-galvanized steel reinforcement that assure stability and a long life-time. Maintenance with poisonous paint and exchange of zinc anodes are not required. A floating house with a concrete pontoon does not have the problem of corrosion and the weight distribution gives optimum stability in the water.

AquaDomi™ Construction AHPS Profile System AHPS is a new modular cassette building system that makes it possible to transport modular unmounted units in container and mount and connect on site directly onto the pontoon. AHPS is most flexible, with large carrying capacity, very lightweight, 35 % less then prefabricated concrete), great strength, fire proofed, ecologically friendly, impact proof outside, 100 % recyclable.

Exterior materials - AquaDomi™ FacadesCustomized by combining profiles, planes, fibers or stone facades.256 RAL colors available, maintenance free, fire proofed and salt water resistant AquaDomi™ Plane Facade: PlaneThe AquaDomi™ plane facade plate is a durable with a low-maintenance facade panel made of compressed rock fiber andBakelite. It is water repellent, color fast, light weight, fire proof,vapor permeable.

AquaDomi™ Facade profileProfiles Durable and maintenance-free made of wood fibers and extruded into profiles.

AquaDomi™ stone facades: StoneThe AquaDomi™ stone facade profiles are covered by high quality natural granules.

AquaDomi™ Insulation of the floating house The insulation of the house is very important when you live on water.The AquaDomi™ houseboat has the following U-values:Ceiling: 0.15; Floor: 0.12; Wall: 0.18

Noise reduction and Sound-proofing: The choice of the soundproofing material is also very important.The noise can come from the wind, the sea, the marine traffic.AquaDomi™ has the following noise reduction (dB): Windows: 36-39 dB ; Ceilings and floors: > 75 dB; Walls: > 52 dB

Ventilation of the floating house: Ventilation and handling of humidity within the building are veryimportant. The relative humidity is high during the summer and low during the winter. These conditions are more difficult for buildings on water. AquaDomi™ uses an “intelligent” vapor barrier that reacts to the air’s relative humidity. AquaDomi™ Windows for floating homes : VelfacAquaDomi™ uses Velfac 200 windows with high insulation capacity, noise reduction factor and an important sound-proofing quality. VELFAC 200 window systems are made of strong, weatherproofaluminium on the outside and north European Pinewoood on the inside. We use VELFAC DÉCOR opaque glass - where privacy and securityare required.

Infrastructure : AquaDomi™ WaterhomesWater, waste water, electricity, telephone and cable connections are connected to the houseboat through the floating bridge. At the houseboat, the hook-up is placed under the gangway and thus hidden.

AquaDomi™ TechnicaI Information

Water SupplyThe water supply goes through special 50mm flexible tubes that are insulated with El-tracing to prevent the water from freezing. Connection to the public waterworks is made with pressure water. The water gauge can be placed in a technical room or in the floating house. The hot-water tank is normally placed in the floating house.

ElectricityEnergy and energy- production: The houseboats are normally connected to the public supplying net.

Telephone and Cable Connections If it is not possible to connect to the local net, is it possible to create a wireless system.

Heating and Cooling of the AquaDomi™ HouseboatAquaDomi™ uses heating placed in floors, wall or air warming systems. Any form of heating is possible: gas- and oil burner, heat pumps, district heating, solar panels, wood burning fire places, ACs.

Waste WaterThere are several solutions to the sewage discharge from the houseboat. 1) A grinder/pump system can be mounted that “shoots” the waste water to the public sewerage system ashore. 2) A sewer contractor can empty the houseboat’s septic tank with a gully emptier on a regular basis. Mud pumping on the bridge is not advisable due to environmental factors. 3) A third solution could be to install a mini-sewage works on each floating house that treats the discharge water. The cleaned water can then be led directly into the water. The residual product – the sludge – is collected in a tank and emptied regularly.

Garbage Handling In connection with AquaDomi™ Projects an environment station is placed on land, to where the sorted garbage must be transported. The garbage will be collected and transported to treatment.

AquaDomi™ Environment Correct Materials AquaDomi has tested all the materials which are used in the constructions, before they are taken in to use. New materials will also be tested, so we know, with sureness that nothing is going to harm the environment.

Recyclable Materials AquaDomi™ has made sure that all materials which are used are 100% recyclable. The house by itself is therefore very environmentally correct.

AquaDomi™ Inspection and MaintenanceService inspection and maintenance of houseboats is performed by theAquaDomi™ service team. AquaDomi™ has the facilitiesto solve this assignment through a service agreement adapted to thespecific demand. The result is noted in a logbook.
