When avid outdoorsman Richard Daigneault set out to create the ultimate, compact houseboat, his masterful woodworking skills and eco-friendly ethos produced a floating home so coveted that he launched a company to meet demand for his amphibious dwelling—with a starting price of $79,000 CAD (approximately $61,000 USD).

This full-fledged floating house was designed with features that are meant to live comfortably year-round.

The build team added 25,000 pounds of concrete and lead to ensure ballast, or that the house would be level on the waves. “It’s a tiny home, so you have all the same things you would worry about in a tiny home, but with this added challenge of having to be as stable as possible,” says David.

Originally built in 1996, the home was recently treated to a complete overhaul.

Inside, the airy home features a spacious living area with a fireplace. The 728-square-foot space makes a great city escape.
