Extreme floating tiny house that would make James Bond feel at home.

‘It’s very relaxing,’ says Ducancelle. ‘You feel like you’re actually floating in the water. It’s also more stable than a boat: it can resist a cyclone.’”
This design concept has some extreme ideas for self-sufficient living.

Extreme Tiny House Boat Living
Architect Joanna Borek-Clement has an incredible imagination. This is one of her recent design concepts, an extreme small house boat with an open plan and exposed structural elements.
Here’s another way to build a tiny house… right on the back of an old boat. The Maldive Islands is a tiny country in the Indian Ocean formed by a group of 26 atolls.
