David Ballinger, founder of 
MetroShed, recently emailed us about his latest project: a prefab houseboat.
From the press release (PDF):
The MetroShip represents 7 years of boat design and planning to utilize unique materials for a houseboat application. I wanted to incorporate the manufacturing efficiencies of our pre-fab buildings (MetroShed) into a luxury aluminum hull houseboat product.
.... most houseboats have lots of windows to let light in – but the result is a very poor looking design. We use transulent thermal aluminum walls....
Some highlights:
- 48ft x 12ft
- modern New York City loft style interior
- The furniture is all ‘green’ – using recycled frames and remnant fabrics made by sister company, MetroSofa.
Check out the MetroShip website for more information.
