Boats that are no longer used for navigating through waterways are getting a new lease on life with a multitude of uses ranging from coworking spaces to restaurants and hotels. Companies are recycling these polyester hull structures into new spaces that you might be surprised to find yourself in. In northern Europe, England, the Netherlands and Denmark, boats come with particular cultures. In such places it's not unusual to come across ships on various riverbanks that have become places of accommodation. Since the revolution in remote working during the pandemic, barges and boats have also rec...

The Sandringham estate, located in Norfolk and home to one of the official royal residences, has plans for a new on-site project.

For years, Haitham al-Madini's house was like all the others on his block: a beige, nearly windowless facade sealed off from the outside world -- as Saudi Arabia itself largely was. But two years ago, confined during a pandemic lockdown, Madini decided to open things up, adding a street-facing patio, redoing the exterior walls in limestone and installing soft lighting in the entryway. Local architects and engineers say such features have become a hallmark of renovation and newly-built projects across the capital Riyadh as Saudis, spurred in part by revised building codes, embrace homes and bus...

Dozens of vibrantly coloured floating homes have for decades dotted the banks of the River Nile, rare havens of leafy seclusion in the Egyptian capital's hustle and bustle -- but maybe not for much longer. Residents of the 30 or so houseboats that remain moored on the banks of the Nile last week received eviction orders, giving them less than two weeks before their homes are taken away to be demolished. "Buying this houseboat was my dream," celebrated British-Egyptian novelist Ahdaf Soueif told AFP. "I furnished it to accommodate my grandchildren and spend my last days here." The boats have lo...

To address the threat of rising sea levels, the city of Busan and partners have unveiled a prototype of a sustainable, self-supporting floating community. This floating city will be able to meet the needs of its residents, who will also have to pitch in themselves. The phenomenon of rising sea levels poses a real risk to many coastal cities around the world. In fact, the recent IPCC report from the UN states that "sea level rise poses an existential threat for some small islands and some low-lying coasts." Busan, a large port city in southern South Korea, hopes to anticipate rising seas by cre...

In February, a house Florida was sold via NFT at auction for $653,000. And this is just the beginnin...

The streets are silent and cats hunt in abandoned houses, but the view from the battlements of Calascio's castle is spectacular -- good enough perhaps to save this dying Italian hamlet. Local officials have put restoring the ruins and attracting tourists at the heart of their bid to revive the village, which has won 20 million euros ($22 million) in EU post-pandemic funds. Surrounded by Abruzzo's snowcapped peaks, Calascio is one of 21 dying or deserted villages awarded an equal share of a 420-million-euro pot by the Italian government. Critics question how equipped the tiny councils are to sp...
