Houseboat owners, generally speaking, are a non-traditional lot. Houseboats are greatly restricted in size, and must abide, for example, to an 18 foot height limit – this is pretty restrictive. This particular House Boat is one story, but I have designed 2-story versions, which often take some clever engineering to reduce the depth of framing, so as to obtain the largest possible ceiling heights.
Sadly for me, my involvement in the remodel of this houseboat is coming to a close. I truly enjoyed working with the owner and helping to create a functional and funky interior space which suited the neighborhood nicely.
I’ll also miss the resident rodent you see in one of the photos. She is quite old and cranky, but the neighbors take care of her.
