[Video] Building your dream (floating) home studio the Dutch way

Jun 10, 2018

Housing in Amsterdam is not cheap, to say the least. So, what do you do when your family is growing and you need more space? Well, you could do what architect Julius Taminiau did and leave your apartment and join the floating community with a houseboat.

You could also take it one step further like Taminiau did and sell the houseboat for one euro to make way for your dream houseboat. Here you can see how he did it, courtesy of Kirsten Dirksen’s YouTube channel.

Would you ever consider living on a houseboat? Let us know in the comments!
