A high end houseboat of around 250 m2 for those who love water, space art and design! Originally built in 1962, this steel cargo ship (type: Kempenaar) has been professionally transformed into a floating home in the period 2015-2017. At the moment, the ship is used as a pied-a-terre and private gallery and is as new.

Additionally, the ship has been refurbished with an open kitchen, a pantry, a study, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a wheelhouse and an engine room. Its berth is part of the project Waterwonen Amsterdam at the Cas Oorthuyskade op IJburg, that consists of 34 water plots for independently sailing houseboats.

In the living room is a wood burner specifically designed for the ship. Three large, customised roof windows provide daylight. The ship has an open kitchen with an oven, induction cooker and extractor fan from the Atag brand, fridge, Quooker fusion black faucet and a dishwasher.
