Based in the Czech Republic, No 1 Living builds houseboats with an upper and lower deck and glazed interiors that make the best of the outdoor views. Founded in 2013, they offer two models of houseboats – the No1 Living 40’ and the larger No1 Living 47’, both equipped with a kitchen, full bathroom, bedrooms and generous storage spaces. The houses are built with highly durable, anticorrosion protected steel and polyethylene segmented floats, which offer excellent floatation.

The houses are (85 square meters) each and come with five twin cabins, three terraces and a kitchen. The houses can produce their own water and electricity and are packaged in a 40-feet long transportable container for international shipments.

SM Ponton is a Slovakian based designer and producer of modular, floating pontoon bases for houseboats and floating homes. Constructed with a reinforced concrete structure that ensures maintenance-free durability and a Styrofoam core that makes the vessels unsinkable, the modules are connected together to form a rigid pontoon platform using locks at the mooring place. Architects and designers can then confidently build their homes on tip of this platform.
