A Custom, Modern Floating House by Friday

Whether you’re looking for a place to get away for the weekend or house for your whole family, Friday gives you that… and then some. Their Floating House is a modular design that lets you choose a cozy studio or a fully-furnished three-bedroom house, all of which float. Living in a cool, modern house would be pretty great, but imagine taking that house and placing it in the water so you can have your very own lakefront property with 360 degree views.
