Concept for mobile homestead anchored by the shore.
I modeled the homestead in 3D in 2021 and it has some practical design flaws since I'm not an architect and my main focus was exploring the aesthetics.
A few things lacking: I didn't spend time on working out a proper homestead-to-homestead connection system. The general idea was to connect homesteads via extendable bridges. Under the platforms it would make sense to have large airtight rounded structures (floats/pontoons) that stabilize the homestead. I have no idea what the maritime technical requirements for seasteading in the open sea would be, so take this as an amateur vision that needs overhaul.
The homestead has three floors, with the main apartment below deck. The idea is having either an enclosed internal ladder system between the floors, an enclosed elevator or both. If one level is compromised by attackers, the owner must be able to pass between the three levels securely within the enclosed ladder/elevator system.
The elevator shaft would most practically be located on the outside of the structure, albeit the drawback is that it impacts the silhouette of the homestead. Below deck it would have an exit door and a dock for maritime vessels. The homestead could also have a diving chamber below the whole structure as an additional escape route. Think James Bond. 😄
Very pretty!

Thanks! Not so practical yet but we have to start with simple ideas and then extrapolate.
