The building is in particular one which may float during flood events. The system 100 comprises a foundation key and a building. The foundation key 103 comprises an elongate beam 108 with an upper surface 107 and a support 109 securing the foundation key 103 to the ground. The building comprises a hull 101 supporting a superstructure 102, the hull 101 defines a buoyant chamber having a bottom surface 105 with a recess 106. The recess is shaped to correspond to the shape of the upper surface of the elongate beam and adapted to locate the hull over the elongate beam such that the foundation key supports the weight of the building. The elongate beam and the recess may comprise a top surface and two side surfaces 112a, 112b tapering towards the top surface 111. Also claimed is a foundation key with a support and tapering side surfaces going towards an upper surface.
