One of the problems of Ganvie Lake Village is the high water level. The best answer is“water for water“. The biomimic structure of puffer fish and its strategy to deal with enemies is by inflation with water or air. Inspired by this feature, we built smart homes that have the typological form of the area(inspired by the sand ring of puffer fish), when the rise water and tides, filled with air and come to the surface of the water, also in conditions Stormy and wavy, filled with water and heavy and goes down. This structure works with clean energies(Tidal energy, Photovoltaic system, Aquaponic).
