  • Dusky Parakeet is a one-bedroom modern houseboat designed by 31/44 Architects. It has been decorated with a calm, natural palette, perfectly suited to its watery surroundings. It is the sort of comfort and quality that you would expect from a high-end apartment. Finishes, door hinges, appliances, positioning of walls, storage, and lighting: every decision was made with both need to be space-saving and practical, but also create a generous and calm contemporary home.

      would love to know how this has worn... I ordered a sample of this exact product for the very same purpose and went to town on it with a bread knife and a lighter... it didn't fair well so I gave up the idea. Would love to hear positive feedback and be able to go forward with it!

  • @lalineaa

    I loved it but would’ve liked seeing the shower and the bathroom more. The bedroom is super cozy, living room could’ve been cozier.

    • @Hannonymous
      @Hannonymous 4 года назад +20

      yeah, but its the very typical and often found, functional boat-cushions, which they used, but in a higher quality i guess. On a moving boat, everything moves around, needs to be adjustable and able to swing around, which this clearly does not offer. None the less, a very beautifull living space.
      But it does look a little bit cold, also...

    • @lalineaa
      @lalineaa 4 года назад +13

      Hans Blond ah you’re right, didn’t think of that. Just overall the living room + dining room felt very impersonal. I didn’t get the impression they’d be moving the boat too much.

      @ACM9407 4 года назад +10

      I'm not so sure that small living within urban cities is going to have the positive impact that everyone seems to think it will have. All it really does is enable companies and manufacturers to cram more people into a smaller radius. Instead of 30 apartments in one complex, it'll be 50 apartments in one complex. Meanwhile, if the living quarters are centralized, you can bet your bottom dollar that prices will still be sky high. So now, instead of 700 sq. ft of living space (or whatever measurement is being used) for $1200, you're getting only 400 sq. ft for $1000. Many places throughout Asia are prime examples of this.

    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

    People living in boats have always blown my mind, when I first heard about that I was amazed and I ended up watching tans and tans of boats remodeling, this is one of the cutest houseboat I've seen. I'm in love with the palette she used because it makes me feel very peaceful which is essential after spending all-day working. Also, the storage is very cautious which helps to have a spatial continuity. ❤️❤️

    What a lovely example of both tiny living and off-grid 'van life'... I have watched a million van builds and a few get close, but this is so beautifully styled. I've never understood American caravan 'designers' (loose term) who love oversized furniture, fake fireplaces and a propensity for heavy brown timbers. The whitewashed Douglas Fir in this application is an inspired choice.
