Arkiboat Houseboats by Drew Heath Architects
Arkiboat Houseboats are designed and built by Drew Heath Architects. Like many boats it’s a good example of how to make good use of a small space but this one is designed more like a land based tiny house.
They agreed to undertake the project and Drew Heath, Architect and Builder, was contacted for his design genius to shed some light on the undertaking. He was given a simple spec. They wanted a good looking houseboat that opened up to a surrounding deck; a design created to capture and enjoy nature—not shut it out.
The Arkiboat prototype was built on top of a floating platform that Ian had used for his plumbing business and occasionally as a floating cinema he operated for locals on the river. It took nine months to design, manufacture and complete; and the rest is as they say…history.
