Floating building

A floating building is a building unit with a flotation system at its base, allowing it to float on water. It is common to define such a building as being "permanently moored" and not usable in navigation. Floating buildings are usually towed into location by another vessel and are unable to move under their own power.

Floating buildings typically appear in land-constrained urban areas and regions, but they are also common in parts of Asia, where they serve as resorts and alternative accommodation for tourists.
