Seattle houseboat remodel

Another jewel in a series of amazing small spaces:

Here's what happens when a native of Japan and a native of the Netherlands, both with architecture degrees, remodel an 807-square-foot houseboat in Seattle.

The floors, cabinets and some of the ceilings are bamboo.

It wasn't a cheap remodel, at $240,000. But there are only 482 houseboats in the city, a story in the Seattle Times says, and people tend to keep them an average of 20 years.
