I often see what many consider 'odd' homes and see the benefits and the beauty that lies there. I dislike apartment living, but looking at this building, I think I could park myself in one of them for life. Thanks for sharing this site. Ah…such a wonderful concept.

Az Island is the brainchild of Alstom Marine and architect Jean-Philippe Zoppini. It would be the worlds largest ocean liner, taking the title from the Queen Mary II, which was also butil by Alstom Marine. It’s size-29 floors high with a surface area equal to 4 footbal fields-should enable the vessel to withstand 20 meter high waves and hurricanes. However, it’s size will also make berthing impossible, requiring a boat or helicopter to access it; a landing pad and marina have been planned. Read more about AZ Island here.

That doesnt even cover staff, furnishings, or the exorbitant costs of resupply in materials and food. Im not an economist so I cant guess at all the issues that might arise from this kind of situation but I see a great deal more problems occurring for the occupant than any possible benefit. And a 'secure citadel' is laughable at best. Anyone who's reached that point in isolation, and that only for the reason for illegal purposes (that I can imagine), would end up starving to death in luxury. Sailing slower than a cruise ship means a navy can circle your 'island' at leisure and place it under embargo. That or your sources of resupply could be seized at their point of origin with the same effect. At worst, its still a boat that can be sunk. No company or individual, no matter how rich, would have the means to stop a proper navy. It would probably make a nice reef Im sure.
