The Cepholopod 1 is the result of the way of thinking of a designer/sculptor about floating houses. Ben Rigby’s design consists of three diamond-shapes meeting each other in the center triangular form. Because of the sharp edges, this form can easily absorp the energy of powerful waves. The Cepholopods energy comes mainly from solar panels installed on the houses, and from wind turbines which erect automatically from the deck in case of wind. At times of heavy weather the turbines can lower into the deck, completely flattening the deck, so that waves and wind can easily move across the Cepholopod. One Cepholopod provides space for 3 apartments. Each apartment has his own docking station for a small boat to get to the shore. The water can be pumped out of the docking stations, so that the boat won’t be damaged in case of heavy weather.
