Brad Pitt must be so proud of the newest building to be unveiled in New Orleans through Make It Right. The new house actually floats in case of flooding. It’s incredible!
The house seems to turn into a raft, breaking free from electrical lines and all the pipes for plumbing – I have no idea how that even works, but it’s pretty amazing, well planned, and much-needed for safety reasons of course. However, not only does the house float, it’s also tethered to posts. This means that this particular house will float up to 12 feet off the ground but it won’t drift away (that’s all you’d need, right? To have your house float down the river?) in the flood waters.
Considering what happened to New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, this is an incredibly innovative bonus to what is typical of Make It Right homes, in that it’s built to be as green as possible in its materials. It’s also, as you would expect, built with the usual MIR sustainable design in order to help keep utility costs as low as they can be.
Check out the house and the diagrams over at Ecorazzi, a wonderful site that I highly recommend as it attempts to “catch” celebrities in the act of being environmentally-conscious.

It is so wonderful to see all the good that just these two people do for so many. I am proud to be their fan. The concept of this house is unbelievable. Keep up the good work Brad and Angie.

It always amazes me, the bizarre contradiction between the tabloid ‘reality’ compared to actual reality of Brad and Angie’s life. One is a cartoon and the other is art. Sometimes it is frustrating knowing so many prefer the cartoon…

Dana – thanks for that new pic of Vivienne! Although it´s take from a distance – which I appreciate a lot – it shows how much Viv reminds her big sis Shi at that age. That same curious/scared look in her little face. And sunny – thanks for that link to JJB. Those pics of Brad and Angie are just beautiful! They show how happy those two are. The more I watch Angie in these pics the more I see the resemblance between her and her late mum. Angie is getting more and more beautiful the older she gets. And Brad looks absolutely yummy in these pics. Those two complete each other. Can´t wait to see more news pics of Knox and Viv. God bless the JPs!

Dana – did you post that beautiful pic of Angie and Shi to JJB? The one that you commented how little Shi looks like Angie at the age of three? Could you please post that pic to Pittwatch. It really showed that Shi truly looks more like her dad than her mum. She has these same facial expressions and features as her dad. But who knows which one of her parents she´s gonna look more like when she grows up. Maybe she will be all Angie or maybe all Brad or an interesting mix of both. No matter what she´s gonna look like. The main thing is that she (and her siblings) stays healthy and will do what she loves the most. Maybe she´ll be an actor like her parents or model or something like that. And I also hope that she will carry on her parents´ humanitarian work in one way or the other.
