The first super yacht I have seen that’s tastefully decorated, there’s an element of humbleness in there amongst the quality materials. Superb to create his own reality.❤
Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.
Impressive insights! For beginners like me, managing and staying updated can be overwhelming. Are you an experienced investor or do you have a strategic approach for staying informed?
That's quite remarkable! I'm genuinely interested in benefiting from the guidance of such experienced advisors, especially considering the current state of my struggling portfolio. May I know the name of the advisor who has been assisting you in navigating these financial challenges?
Thank you for the information. I conducted my own research and your advisor appears to be highly skilled and knowledgeable. I've sent her an email and arranged a phone call. Her expertise is impressive, and I'm eagerly anticipating our conversation.
I have never thought of having a house boat but this video shows why it is a good idea to think of having one. Those beautiful sunsets on the water with the solitude and stillness that comes with gliding across the water. What I liked most was how the desire for a house boat came from a childhood experience on his grandfather's boat. And his grandfather's boat was not luxurious. We can begin from where we are and aspire for more is we so choose. This is a lovely home to aspire to . . .
Yeah, I don’t think they had super mobility in mind when they came up with that design. With that square hull, anything over a couple knots would swamp the lovely thing.
This was amazing. The video, the boat, the design elements, the location, and the fact that people get to experience a life like this, is just miraculous. I applaud thee for all these things. Hell yes!!!
I love the interiors of this home! The Halcyon water home is perfect for families who loves water activities. Thank you Local Project for this beautiful home.
Remarkable project, video and vision. Granted it’s not really a yacht any way you look at it but, it redefines the entire notion of a houseboat. This is certainly impressive but not excessive. It I may not be attainable for most of us, so what? Most things aren’t yet we get pleasure and inspiration from them. This has the power to reimagine, for that I’m grateful. I will dream of this.
I'd like to know how long the cinematographers at the Local Project take to plan and shoot such videos as this. I'm in the business myself and I can't believe the production quality. James Cameron couldn't really shoot it better.
I agree 100%. The homes they present are exquisite, but I would watch just for the beauty of the surroundings and the amazing quality of the videos. The videos are crafted with as much care as the homes are, true works of art! I must say, I love the yacht, too!😃
Rich people call their stuff whatever they like, but generally a "super yacht" is any luxury boat over 120 feet in length. This one is "only" about 60 feet, so shouldn't be called a super yacht even if we do stretch the definition of "yacht" to literally "any boat with fancy stuff in it."
exquisite!! -- being a great architect is ability to manage all the details -- every decision shapes & serves to create the experience -- this was so great to see on that level -- thank you for inspiration and direction!!
Simply stunning! The house itself is gorgeous and it becomes even more gorgeous by how it beautifully highlights and frames its surrounds. Perfection! When can I move in?!
I retired as the Architect if Record for a major US western university. I never cane close to affording a get away cottage much less a fantastic house biat. My dreams. So congratulations. You did it. In retrospect, I have had a fantastic life, love my sweet baby Carol and the kids are well on the way to important and successful careers. We have established endowments for the grandkids. I would never change a thing. Who am I to second guess God’s plan. But, oh, what a boat.
I love such projects. That being said, I don't mean to offend anyone, certainly not the owner as I am appreciating his effort and time inviting us and showing us his boat. I am aware that tastes are different, which is good as we need variation. In my opinion this house boat doesn't look inviting. I am all for minimalism but this is too indifferent for me. I cannot get rid of the feeling I had watching 'Succession', where all interiors and architecture looked faceless and characterless. And then it also remembers me of the regular public boat ferries here in Norway, where people from the islands commute to the city for work etc. Filming was great but it was too much advertisement style. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your viewpoint, it's insightful. But allow me to provide a different perspective. This house boat, from what I've seen, embodies a certain kind of elegance in its minimalism. Not every design needs to scream for attention. Some, like this one, choose to whisper, to offer a tranquil oasis that encourages relaxation and inner peace. The 'indifferent' feel you mentioned can also be viewed as a canvas ready to be personalized, depending on who's living in or using the space. A design's true character can sometimes be brought out by the personal touches of its inhabitants, not just by its built-in elements. Drawing a parallel with 'Succession', remember that the settings of that show were designed to reflect the detachment and impersonality of the characters' lives. Yet, despite their austere appearances, those places held a certain magnetic allure for many viewers. As for the comparison with the public boat ferries in Norway, those boats are designed for functionality and durability. They play a significant role in daily life, which is something to be respected. This house boat, in its own way, pays homage to that practical and resilient spirit. Finally, about the filming being 'advertisement style', isn't showcasing the best aspects of any project what we should aim for? Yet, your feedback is important and perhaps a balance can be struck between a professional presentation and a more relaxed, casual tour in the future.
@@maxhaenni Hi, thanks so much for your comment and thoughts; I really appreciate you elaborate on your point of view. Quite inspiring and insightful. Thanks.
@@djursobranco I have to tell you, my friends usually call my insights 'uninspiring and obvious' so this is a real step up for me. If you ever fancy a round of philosophical ping-pong or need someone to wax lyrical about the meaning of minimalism, you know where to find me! Until then, keep being the tastemaker you are. I'll be here, paddling in my 'ferry-boat-chic' house boat!
NICE and comfortable the interiors, but yacht outer lines and design do not exist! The yacht seems a floating "steel iron" Sorry for my unpleasant comment.... Dario
@@darioferrigno7689 You've certainly got me chuckling with the 'floating steel iron' comparison. I guess we've accidentally stumbled upon a new design category, haven't we?
Insane videos and you post all the time this is an incredible channel!! I watch these religiously with my girlfriend don’t ever stop it will only get bigger🫶🏻
It’s a nice houseboat. It’s not designed like a boat, but a house. Reminds me of the water houses in the Pugot Sound area, except this has a motor on it. He did a great job designing it. It’s not really designed to move around much. It couldn’t go in bad weather or with many waves.
What a way to live , I believe this would be the best life . Zero point energy or quantum vacuum systems would make this lifestyle absolutely feasible for more people in the future.
I believe you are aware that the dwellings presented on your programs are beyond the means of many of your viewers, but that's not my emphasis. We can allow what we see to motivate us do the be the best at what ever we are capable of doing.😊
I hope they keep the thing in sheltered waters. It doesn’t look like a capable sea or oceangoing vessel that would stay upright once hit with swells or very strong wind.
this is like, an unbelievably well produced video anyway, house boats as a broad thing, give me a very weird, uncomfortable vibe. even though this one is nice
So, is this still a yacht, or a well-designed house boat? The design will not win speed contests (typical of house boats) because the blocky structure isn’t aerodynamic. If the intention of the owner/designer is to stay inside the confines of Australian waterways, fine. I don’t think the ‘yacht’ will be seaworthy to venture a short trip to say, nearby NZ.
Not that anyone cares, but in the boating world this wouldn't be considered a Superyacht as it's not nearly long enough - it's actually pretty modest in length for just a 'yacht'. Really it's a house boat and not a yacht at all.
*Sublime craft with a seductive if not (often) over-produced video. Ease up on the hyper-quick/hyper-focused cuts of its interior.* *Pull back. Pause. Pan generously. Allow time to appreciate its elements in context instead of edits like you're dicing an onion.*
Yes well, outstanding camera work, exquisite interiors...but, I'm sorry, that's an ugly lump of naval architecture. I know that's the houseboat typology, but it is clearly best experienced from the inside looking out.

Nothing says humble like a 8 figure super yacht
Couldn't agree more!
Its basically just a super modern houseboat. Not a superyacht.
Search up "Arkup"
This is truly beautiful. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting lake Eildon before but this is next level. The future for living on the water!

I just love The Local Project.

new dream living space...holy moly that's absolutely stunning🤩🤩
It really is!
Pure magic. Thank you for sharing your soul.
Wow! Simple sleek unique design, which looks to be a tranquil yet peaceful place to retreat to.🔥 Enjoyed this from start to finish.
The Local Project just pulled a next level house presentation here. couldnt think of any house presented on the channel better than this
by far one of the most beautiful design i've seen on water
Couldn't agree more!

i swear im subbed to see the production quality more than the houses lol
2:44 killer shot. Wow.
Потресающий проект дома на воде отличная организация пространства шикарный дизаин спасибо получила огромное удовольствие
Wow! It’s absolutely incredible!!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful! Maybe someday I can afford to have 1 built . 💗 It 💗💗💗
I'm too poor to watch this video.
How much is the boat?
Don't worry bro, I'll Buy it for you🎉
I also want
True😂
Very esthetic and a great way to live your life
This super watch is a moving 5 star marvel😍
In other words: it’s good to be rich and have great taste 👏👏👏
not sure if this strictly qualifies as a yacht but it IS the best houseboat i've ever seen.
The title of video is misleading, but it is a very beautiful design.
Rich people call their stuff whatever they like, but generally a "super yacht" is any luxury boat over 120 feet in length. This one is "only" about 60 feet, so shouldn't be called a super yacht even if we do stretch the definition of "yacht" to literally "any boat with fancy stuff in it."
Это, просто - Кайф! Любви и счастья тебе, создатель этого шедевра, во всём и во всех.
Gosh, I would live like this forever 💙✨
the first really cool yacht that is not a yacht, amazing!!! congrats
The furthest most touching episode, on this entire channel.
A huge thanks for sharing it, guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is nothing short of brilliant!
exquisite!! -- being a great architect is ability to manage all the details -- every decision shapes & serves to create the experience -- this was so great to see on that level -- thank you for inspiration and direction!!
This is just absolutely fabulous. So in love.
It's a beautiful space. Very unusual design for a yacht. Seems like he took inspiration from houseboats.
Simply stunning! The house itself is gorgeous and it becomes even more gorgeous by how it beautifully highlights and frames its surrounds. Perfection! When can I move in?!
Glad you like it!
"We chose a limited pallet of materials" - said every single person on this channel lol
and then we watched the light. and wow. it made patterns and really changed the look of things. mind officially blown.
😂

I used to build almost the same boat at Bravada yachts in Arizona way back in 2012-2017
That's a beautiful house...that happens to float
Houseboat rather than yacht?
Perfect
Fun fact; The two bird songs in this are a Wood Thrush and Carolina Wren, both native to the forests of eastern USA. Not Australia.
Це надзвичайно гарно та професійно! Успіх і талант роблять дива!
Just who I want building my boat...an architect!? 😂
Its looked like a sinking yacht from outside.
I Love that
imagine hauling out this chonker to clean the bottom from aquatic growth?

I agree with you. They should just title it as a houseboat which is what it is. Even the owner calls it that.
@@brettcarter5142 I was waiting for this as the first reply - you cared enough to comment though 🤷♂
How do I buy one?
Sarei curioso vedere l'usura della casa nel tempo.
Hmmm maybe I need to invest in a houseboat chapter of life
Omg ❤
How do you enjoy the scenery so much you have to chop it for your bath! Isn’t it hypocritical
🤩
Oh to be this rich
What is that first piano song called?
what is that lamp at 4:40?
ill take it. how much?
super houseboat
Amazing build. Intro music was beautiful. Anyone know the name of the artist and song?
Same !
Impressive houseboat. Mind don’t think it meets definition of a yacht never mind a super yacht - wouldn’t take this out to sea!
it looks like a $20mil yacht
It is a house boat... Not a yacht
Beautiful boat, but not a "yacht". It's a lake boat. Also fire + boat = bad. Find another way to heat your hot tub! 😄
How do you heat your tub on YOUR superyacht?
A woodfired hot tub. On a boat, lmfao. very nice tho
Iron on water
Do you guys know the song during the intro ?
What do you mean ?
Someone show this to realcivilengineer
