Multi-Purpose Gazebo

This is no ordinary Gazebo. Ninety-nine percent of the time it will simply act as a fully equipped outdoor entertaining area, but when a flood hits it is ready for action. The Multi-Purpose Gazebo will float above flood waters on its pontoon-like structure acting as a sealed and lockable island for precious belongings. As the flood waters recede the structure will lower back onto its foundations and is ready to transform into a temporary refuge. Three extra rooms will unfold from the original structure and act as living, storage, dining, and sleeping spaces. This structure will allow people to have a place to dwell as they clean and renew their flood damaged houses.
