Additional space is provided in the upper cabinets with specially designed lock system to ensure the maximum safety in the Houseboat.

A sliding glass door leads to a back deck which offers the perfect viewing platform for relaxing, reading, or laying on the sun. It has elegantly hidden foldable ladders that enable you to climb back to your houseboat after enjoying swimming in the sea.
Exterior and Terrace

Clever storage solutions with lower cabinets built in the fiber body of the houseboat ensure maximum space utilization of the interior as well as the exterior. The entire top deck area is surrounded with glass safety railings to ensure the maximum feeling of safety on the boat. Part of the deck area is covered with six meters long roof which gives a sense of privacy and protects from the sun.
The simple yet luxurious look is achieved by smooth, simple, yet elegant lines and shapes, and carefully selected materials and colors. The body of the Houseboat is made of fiber, combining aluminum windows with stainless steel details, glass and wood.

Amenities
Houseboat amenities were carefully selected and designed to ensure a comfortable stay during your journey.
Smart Technology
Thanks to the smart technology system, all devices can be controlled and monitored remotely. Door locks, tv, sound, cameras, lights, rollers, heating & cooling systems, and appliances can be controlled through one home automation system. Smart home appliances come with self-learning skills so they can learn your schedules and adjust as needed. The system can be installed on your mobile or other networked device.

Transportability
Thanks to the modular design of the houseboat, all its components, including equipment and furniture, can be easily stored in two standard containers, and transported to almost anywhere on the planet.
Sustainability
Glass walls allow natural lighting to the houseboat. Fiberglass is an excellent thermal insulator which means it significantly reduces the need for added energy to regulate the temperature of the house.
All blackwater and greywater pass through a treatment station to finally return to the environment in conditions of physical, chemical, and bacteriological purity.
Solar-Powered
A 100% electric houseboat that takes all its energy needs from the sun. The roof of the houseboat is covered with fifteen solar panels that generate energy that is accumulated in a battery pack system and used when necessary. When charged, the house is self-sufficient for at least seven days.
Life and Leisure
A fully equipped kitchen for everyday use, a bar and a barbecue, sunbed with a bookshelf on the upper terrace for sunny days, guarantees a great living experience, whether you choose to use it as a base for numerous outdoor activities or simply as a treasure island to relax.
Houseboat as part of future sustainable lifestyle: Prestige or a Necessity?
Water holds potential for new adventurous and unique experiences that will transform the way we live. Considering the fact that houses on water produce less emission (less than half of the emission of a standard house), that it can be produced very quickly and reused if needed, floating homes are believed for a reason to be one of the most pertinent solutions that are both sustainable and eco-friendly. In addition, spending time on the water positively affects our well-being. Various research shows that being near water makes us more creative, promotes a sense of wellness and can even ease our minds.
Due to climate change, natural disasters, floods, earthquakes as well as growing population and overall inefficiency of building on land, the biggest challenge facing countries is ensuring sustainable economic growth. From a rapid transition towards sustainable cities to making sustainable housing, the emphasis is on reducing carbon footprint and leaving a world that is healthy for the coming generations. Weather it is going to be used to spend a vacation or to live permanently, water surfaces hold great economic and ecological potentials. Many developers and designers already started to look to the potential of living on water.
The demand for homes on water is rapidly increasing as it gives their owners the best of both worlds in the form of space, luxury, and convenience. For those looking for new experience and more environmentally conscious living, the houseboat presents the ultimate solution that will guarantee a luxury lifestyle and a unique and versatile asset.
Houseboat may be a matter of prestige today. However, it might as well very soon become a necessity due to the changing conditions of living on land.
