Villa Voyager in Pampas Marina Sweden

I found three Villa Voyagers in Stockholm. They are about 10 meter of lenght. Planed for both water and land. I do not know the story about them but found some info on the Internet that I publishe further down.

They are not as big as the Aqua Villas. More for the minimalist type of living.

Shiny window, but looks like a nice kitchen in there.

Villa Voyager with a heating pump/cooler mouted.

Windows on the side, looks kind of like doors.

Smaller size than the Aqua Villas..

This is a small elongated floating house for permanent living, with large doors at the ends and small windows along the sides.

 The house was actually developed as a winter cabin and was round, even in the ground. It was round so that it would withstand being moved between winter o summer resort. The round shape makes it very rigid and durable. It was flat on the bottom, we can actually thank Pelle Petterson for that. (Maxi boats)
As the design evolved the constructors realized that it could also be used to float and be a houseboat. The décor is maritime in most of the 23 houses built. The idea is Swedish, although construction o manufacturing. Fiberglass "hull" built in Poland, the rest in Sweden.

Houseboats in Solna

Saw some houseboats by the Bällstaån, Solna. Had to check them out! :-)

The blue one has solar panels and looks livable. Beside that one is another bigger one almost hidden. Check next picture.

This houseboat, I guess built on a smaller car ferry does not look ready for living in it. Windows for example does not look ready..

Lots of sly, wood, trees and so on hiding it.

Looks like a cosy houseboat, dont ya think?

More living on the water houses

Still in Pampas Marina (Stockholm) checking out Aqua Villas, Houseboats and so forth. Pictures taken 2016-05-03

Aqua Villa with floating concrete as a bottom.

Freedom

Electric bike (middrive) next to door.

This must be the sewer and wastewater lines. And electric hookup.

Furnace to keep warm and cosy. Not using so much electricity I guess?
