Seaboard north Banten, generally consists of a dam-dike can be said that it is 80% water, so that for residential land will be many obstacles to its. So also with the area Tapak Bumi Village (TBV), only about 20% of the land form in the form of mud and sand from the dredging of a dam with a wide sweep of land approximately 3 m - 5 m and is called normal ‘galengan’ dam.
Therefore, the concept of dwelling that is applied in TBV is “Residential float” so it does not interfere with the milkfish culture that is the main economic source.
In the residential design by Yu Sing has dimension 5.6mx 11.2m, consisting of 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, with room, pantry, storage and deck. Models inspired from the form of leaves that float on the fishpond with the material of bamboo and reed. Mounted beneath the drum-drum of plastic that serves to float home.
Using solar energy, using unclean water disposal biofil. Residential float will be built on self-reliance by the people who want to live in TBV with the material already provided. This can be a residential home so that people can get additional income from his rental home.
Hopefully this concept can be one of the solutions to coastal communities and still live in the area of flood plains.
