Floating house

Abstract

A flood resistant structure includes a building structure container and a building structure positioned proximate to the building structure container. The building structure is moveable relative to the building structure container in response to water flow through the building structure container. The building structure moves upwardly in response to water entering the building structure container. The building structure moves downwardly in response to water leaving the building structure container.

1 . A flood resistant structure, comprising:
 a building structure container; and   a building structure positioned proximate to the building structure container;   wherein the building structure is moveable relative to the building structure container in response to water flow through the building structure container.   
   
   
       2 . The structure of  claim 1 , wherein the building structure is repeatably moveable relative to the building structure container in response to water flow through the building structure container. 
   
   
       3 . The structure of  claim 1 , wherein the building structure moves upwardly in response to water entering the building structure container. 
   
   
       4 . The structure of  claim 1 , wherein the building structure moves downwardly in response to water leaving the building structure container. 
   
   
       5 . The structure of  claim 1 , further including a fluid conduit in fluid communication with the building structure container. 
   
   
       6 . The structure of  claim 5 , one end of the fluid conduit is positioned proximate to the building structure container and an opposed end is positioned away from the building structure container. 
   
   
       7 . A flood resistant structure, comprising:
 a building structure container which includes an outwardly extending overhang and an upwardly extending guide beam; and   a building structure positioned so the guide beam extends therethrough;   wherein the building structure is moveable along the guide beam in response to water flow through the building structure container.   
   
   
       8 . The structure of  claim 7 , wherein the building structure is repeatably moveable relative to the guide beam in response to water flow through the building structure container. 
   
   
       9 . The structure of  claim 7 , wherein the building structure moves upwardly in response to water entering the building structure container. 
   
   
       10 . The structure of  claim 7 , wherein the building structure moves downwardly in response to water leaving the building structure container. 
   
   
       11 . The structure of  claim 7 , further including a fluid conduit in fluid communication with the building structure container. 
   
   
       12 . The structure of  claim 11 , one end of the fluid conduit is positioned proximate to the building structure container and an opposed end is positioned away from the building structure container. 
   
   
       13 . The structure of  claim 11 , wherein the opposed end of the fluid conduit is positioned below the overhang. 
   
   
       14 . The structure of  claim 11 , wherein the opposed end of the fluid conduit is positioned above the overhang. 
   
   
       15 . The structure of  claim 11 , wherein the opposed end of the fluid conduit is positioned level with the overhang.
