Twelve repeating wooden joists, placed on a 5 x 20 meter concrete hull, make up the construction. The roof and fa\u00e7ade are created by 80 bulged windows, each one in its standard 2 x 1 meter rectangular frame. The elongated rectangular form \u2013 characteristic for a house boat \u2013 is emphasized by the repeating forms. The rounding adds a sense of spaciousness to the interior. The windows create comfortable diffuse lighting on both floors. Some windows are opaque or translucent to prevent too much heating. While most houseboats lack a garden, this one compensates well with two balconies, plus a large terrace, and wide stairs towards the water. The inside area totals to 180 square meters, encompassing 3 bedrooms and a generous kitchen.<!--more--><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/www.ecoboot.nl\/ecoboot_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/bvbhousboatfloorplansa4.JPG' title='Waterarchitect Van Bueren Houseboat Floorplan (full size)' target='_new'><img src='http:\/\/www.ecoboot.nl\/ecoboot_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/bvbhousboatfloorplans170x150.jpg' alt='Houseboat Floorplan (click for full size)' \/><\/a><br \/>\nWaterarchitect Van Bueren makes strong designs with domes and arches. When applied smartly, the rounded forms give technical and ecological advantages. In this design it has \u00e0 fortiori an architectural meaning. The space effect of the design catches the eye and contrasts the mainstream land based houses. The round form associates well with Water and with Mother Nature. <\/p>\n<p>Write to bvb@waterarchitect.nl for more details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to the use of standard materials \u2013 which are composed in a nonstandard way by Waterarchitect Van Bueren \u2013 you can have an affordable houseboat.
