A unique floating village has been built along the Hungarian Lake Tisza, in Abádszalók. After the completion of the 17 four-season houses on piles, the construction of new ones started this year. Presumably, the next phase of the project will be done by the end of this summer.

As MTI reports, the first phase of the project cost a net EUR 2.7 million (~HUF 975 million), with the owners paying for the houses and the company financing the beach development and related investments. The investor Ferenc Hoffer, owner-manager of Hof-Fer Investor Ltd. revealed that the houses in the first phase were sold out last year. This spring, the remaining works will be completed which include landscaping of the coast, grassing, tree planting, and reed replanting.

He said that the marina is located in a Natura 2000 area, which is a flood protection area, so they had to find a solution that would adapt to the regular flooding that brings rising water levels. The lightweight floating houses will float on piles during flooding and then “float back” onto the piles when the tide goes out.

The lightweight houses, which are also habitable in winter, can be fitted with solar panels upon the owner’s request.

The floating houses were designed by Adrienn Laszli Studio and will be manufactured and installed by Forker Ltd.

The next two-year project, worth around EUR 5.6 million (~HUF 2 billion) net, has already started on the new part of the project, which is located further away from the houses of the first phase.

The houses could be ready by the end of this summer.

Hof-Fer Investor Ltd. was established in 2009 and was engaged in general construction. In 2014, it also took over the operation of the Abadi Port. Year after year, the port has become a tourist hub in the region. Its popularity further increased with the opening of the hotel ship Fairy Veil in 2016. By 2018, they had reached their current range of services, which, in addition to the harbour, also includes various tourist services on Lake Tisza.

    Why is this unique? There are other floating villages around the world -no doubt they provided the inspiration. It is is unique within Hungary, then say so. A poor headline.

    These modernist junky looking houses do not belong on the water of any lake. They are eyes sores and should never be allowed because they will polute the lake water.
