BBVH overhauls belgian barge into airy amsterdam houseboat dutch firm BBVH architects have transformed a belgian barge into a light-filled houseboat in amsterdam. the 40m long vessel, after just retiring from a long life of hauling freight over the european rivers, its owners; artist laura and restaurant owner john, wanted the ship to remain navigable, so decided not to demolish or refurbish the steering hut, deckhouse or machine room.the architects’ main concern was letting enough light through to the interior, while still maintaining the safety and certification aspects of the ship. to avoid a sense of gloominess, often associated with traditional houseboats, a large patio and 18 over-sized bronze portholes were introduced. the enclosed courtyard consists of an outdoor bathtub and a pear tree – it is also a safe area for the kids to to play outside without the risk of them falling overboard.
