This design uses standard materials in a nonstandard application. The construction is made of twelve repeating wooden joists, placed on a 5 x 20 meter concrete hull. The roof and façade are created by 80 domed skylights, each one in its standard 2 x 1 meter rectangular frame. The elongated rectangular form –characteristic for a houseboat– is emphasized by the repeating forms. The curves add a spaciousness to the interior. The windows create comfortable diffuse lighting on both floors. Some windows are opaque for privacy and to prevent over-heating. While most houseboats lack a garden, this one compensates well with two balconies, a large terrace and wide stairs towards the water. The inside area totals to 180 square meters, encompassing 3 bedrooms and a generous kitchen.
