# Sliding Sectioned Stories Home Concept With Floating and Moveable Floors By Rose Nazarali | Published 2010-01-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-floors References: [dornob](http://dornob.com/hover-home-plan-floating-floor-slides-6-stories-straight-up/) & [marksbarfield](http://www.marksbarfield.com/index.php) This home concept design by [Marks Barfield Architects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ms-x-tom-kerridge-collection) is built in sections. Each section is able to move up to six stories high, making this house completely customizable. With floating floors, each section of the [glass house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baan-oo) can move upwards, giving you an amazing view of your surroundings, with just the touch of a button. I'd love to see what the house looks like with all the different [sections sitting at different levels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blooming-shed). **Implications** - The moveable nature of a product can be one of the most motivating features that pushed a consumer in the direction of buying it.
