Design of the houseboat: a self-sufficient solar catamaran
The features of the Houseboat.
A custom interior layout.
Our role as naval architects is to optimize your living space to combine comfort, aesthetics, and functionality. Our challenge with the Houseboat was to optimize 50m² of living space to accommodate 6 people. The Houseboat offers the comfort of 2 bedrooms: one is 11m², and the second bedroom is 8m², adjacent to a bathroom. The boat is equipped with a spacious bathroom with all necessary amenities. The 17m² living area features an open kitchen and a convertible sofa to accommodate more guests. This room is the heart of the boat, the living space, so we integrated a stove to make it comfortable year-round.
Our eco-design approach.
The choice of materials.
A solar-powered autonomous boat
To achieve 100% solar autonomy for the boat, it was necessary first to calculate domestic energy consumption in order to optimize the boat’s energy efficiency.
Next, we integrated solar propulsion systems using 22 solar panels. The energy generated by the sun is then stored in batteries, which power the boat for navigation and interior equipment.
