In this paper, we explore the possibility and efficacy of a seismic-isolated detached house as described above from both a shaking table experiment of model and three-dimensional finite element analysis. The seismic-isolated model showed stable response and its acceleration response was significantly reduced compared to the base-fixed model in the shaking table test. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was possible to simulate the experimental results. In the seismic response analysis of a full-scale detached house, the seismic-isolated model showed response reduction and its residual displacement was smaller than that of the sliding-base isolation model. %K Seismic Response Reduction %K Magnetic Levitation %K Shaking Table Test %K 3D FEM %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=115095
