The large windows let in fresh breezes and provide an opportunity for the owners to jump out of the house and into the water.

The home was prefabricated in Turkey and delivered to the site on the back of a flatbed truck. Thanks to the small size, simple design, and carefully selected palette, the project cost just under €10,000.

Here are the materials you need to make it happen: -iron -sewing machine -straight pins -scissors -approximately 1/4 yard faux suede cord (it's the blue one there) -embroidery thread -measuring tape -approximately 1/4 yard twill tape (or any kind of tie for the top, really: hemp or cotton cord, a few strands of ric-rac, whatever you like) -two buttons -1/3 yard fabric.
