This document provides a review of amphibious houses as a solution to flooding. It begins with an abstract discussing how population growth is increasing housing needs and environmental impacts. It then reviews 5 previous studies on amphibious housing concepts, methods, findings and applications. The objective, architecture, and methodology of amphibious houses are described. The houses are designed to float during floods and return to their original position when waters recede, allowing occupants to remain in their homes safely. The review concludes by acknowledging contributions and references several previous studies on amphibious housing designs.
