Simple floating structures

Well, I want to stick to my research for my "floating structure"-project. My aim is to think about a simple floating habitat for individuals in 2020, so in the near future.
Who could live in this "house"? People who want to be independent, maybe even students, as space gets rare and expensive, just think of cities like Amsterdam. Could it be an alternative to live on the water instead of paying horrendous rents in the city center? Well, Amsterdam might not be the best example, as there are already boat houses, and maybe more than anywhere else in the world, compared by amount on squaremeters, but, just imagine, many small house boats for students?!
One could set the house up and detach it easily and gain more independence and flexibility, also towards weather and climate changes. Even when the sea levels rise, there is space enough for boat houses, compared to houses built on the ground.
