This project won a 2018 Award of Excellence from the CNY American Institute of Architects. Taylored Architecture was asked to collaborate with the clients to help design a 24' x 52' houseboat with features including a bedroom, kitchen, outdoor accessible bar, tiered deck space, solar panels, small garden, skiff ramp, shading devices, and two helms. The clients had a desire to utilize sustainable energy concepts. Thus, we devised a solar panel pergola above the bridge. To provide further shading on both deck spaces, we use furling shading devices which hang from a cable trellis work. This project is currently afloat.
Opportunities to have your own houseboat designed and constructed are available. Visit St. Lawrence Barge Yachts for more details and please feel free to contact us with any further questions.
