Houseboat-2-move
Over the last 5 years we have been considering building a houseboat and place it in the most beautiful place in our own marina.
The houseboat was to be functional - and optimally prepared to catch the lights from heaven and the water surface.
Based on over 50 years’ experience of building boats and in cooperation with a fine architect and our naval architect, these thoughts have become a reality - ‘Houseboat-2-move’ - a houseboat with very beautiful and clean lines.
Houseboat-2-move has a length of 16.50 metres, a beam of 7.60 metre. The houseboat has two floors and a roof-floor with a lookout turret and a terrace - a total of 170 floor square-metres.
The foundation of ‘Houseboat-2-move’ is a solid steel hull. The hull is 2.70 metre high - 1.00 meter is under the water level - and used as a ‘high basement’ with 2 big bedrooms, bathroom, utility room, technical room and a purifying plant for waste water.
The ‘house’ is a steel skeleton covered with teak or similar wood. Windows and doors made of wood and aluminium.
The first floor of the house has an entrance, staircase, toilet, a big kitchen-living room and a bedroom or living room.
Around the ‘house’ is a 1 meter wide step/side deck.
A bit displaced from the centre line in the houseboat is the staircase. It runs from the basement to the lookout turret - the staircase has a window front, which gives a wonderful light in the boat.
The roof is covered with black roofing felt, stainless steel or zinc. Besides the terrace on the roof, you can have grass, a vegetable patch or the like.
‘Houseboat-2-move’ is built according to the rules of the Danish Ministry of Houses and Buildings and the Danish Maritime Authority.
Using a towboat you can have your ‘Houseboat-2-move’ moved to the right spot, just where you would like to live.
You have the possibility of moving around and bringing your home with you - and the houseboat can be moved over long distances, no problem.
