Lucia Houseboat, Lake Como,
This snow-white floating micro-home draws inspiration from the traditional batèl fishing boat, but transforms it into a modern mobile home with an area of 25 m2.
The single-level, barrier-free interior relies on multifunctional modular furniture, making it ideal for flexible use or experiential glamping accommodation.
The design also uses eco-friendly materials, such as birch plywood panels and recycled raw materials directly from the lake.
The flat-bottomed design and quiet electric propulsion ensure ecological, emission-free sailing. A unique feature is the retractable roof, which can continuously regulate the level of privacy and connection with the surrounding nature.
The Lucia houseboat is also integrated into the Darsena Link network of coastal docks . These solar-powered platforms act as energy-self-sufficient extensions of local villages. They offer charging stations, community zones and marketplaces without any land footprint, thus combining historical tradition with a vision for a modern lifestyle.
