Eco-Friendly
We at Dragonfly Afloat believe that living on the water is a lifestyle that should be affordable and accessible to everyone and as such, we are pleased to introduce the Dragonfly Afloat VILLAGE.
Flexible in design, The Dragonfly Afloat VILLAGE offers an alternative option to traditional housing one which provides future homeowners with an affordable and environmentally sustainable lifestyle on the water.
With the current real estate market making land and housing almost unaffordable to many, the innovative Dragonfly Afloat VILLAGE has entered the market and has become the answer to many potential homeowner’s dreams.
The floating homes that we design, and build provide an affordable and environmentally sustainable lifestyle on the water which are uniquely designed in collaboration with the client so that each module reflects personal style and needs.
Boasting features such as 95% self-sufficiency, a maintenance free hull and structure, on-board seamless solar power and a water desalination top-up package, utility bills become a thing of the past.
Furniture is included so all you have to do is move in and start fishing.
Our floating VILLAGES are Eco-friendly and move away from typical water-vessel accommodation by creating a liveable, contemporary functioning, self-sufficient and off-grid space on the water.
First of all, we needed to understand the meaning of the term ‘Ecology’ (Eco)… after extensive research, we here at Dragonfly Afloat now understand this to be a process; the connection and reaction between parts of our environment, that makes everything work and flourish together. To us, Ecology = Life.
Components of the ‘environment’ make up our ‘habitat’ (the place we live in). Sustaining Ecology is accomplished by allowing the surrounding environment to continue to flow naturally, without any intrusion or blockage.
We found housing on dry land in general as an unnatural intrusion to Ecology, which creates a blockage to the natural flow of life itself.
So, you may ask how does the Dragonfly Afloat VILLAGE take care of Ecology in nature?
No destruction of trees and surrounding Ecology, no disturbance to soil and no destruction to underground water tables through excavation to build any of our homes. By floating on the surface of the water, the VILLAGE remain both separated and connected to nature - becoming part of the surroundings without intrusion or blocking life around it.
