Architect Living on Yocht Designs Houseboot Homes
< < 4 4 <
BY ELEANOR RAGsDALE

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Aug. IS - For those who fancy a hOusebOat home with lake, river or harbOr for front and back yards, a young Washington architect, John Paul Gensemere, has worked out a lOw-cOst housing project for what he calls Aqua homes"
 Architect Gensemer, with his wife and new baby, lives on a converted yacht moored in the Capitals pro- tected Yacht Basin, so it was natur- al for him to think of water borne housing as solution to crowded living conditions.
 All along the Basins east shore he daily sees hundreds of other families living the year round in motor launches and houseboats- some even on thirty and forty foot sailboats. He has a half-a- dozen or so boarders happily oc- cupying the spare cabins on his own yacht, and before long a floating hotel" accommodating 150 persons, will arrive by tug from Florida to fill the mooring next to his.
 DESIGNER FINDS
 CRAFT ECONOMICAL
 "Why not design 8 cheap, at tractive, practical houseboat that would serve as family dwelling he pondered, land then figure out way in which colony of these could be set up near any critical defense area with shelter water front?" His draft for an Aqua homes Project" resulted.
 Similar in many respects to a trailer camp development, a houseboat f1otilla would provide family privacy, economy of space through built-in equipment, and freedom from the necessity of dig ging foundations. Furthermore, no postwar ghost towns would be left to become slums or unsightly ruins. Water and electricity can be supplied by hookup to city fa- cilities. Sewage = 8 specialized marine-living problem = can be disposed of by means Of a detach- able wooden septic tank, accord ing to the architect.
 Speaking of wood = Jack Gense- mer maintains that his whole project would require a minimum of critical material Any kind of wood could be used for both barge and inset superstructure. The hull would be caulked and we'll tarred to keep it water-t tight without frequent overhauling.
 Although the Lanhab Act on defense housing does not author ize Federal expenditures for wa ter-borne housing, there is no re- Striction on Army or Navy adop- ton of this method in its defense construction areas. Officials in those departments, however, are leery of any such plan partly because they maintain waterfront areas as usually not desirable for living quarters, partly because they consider the whole experi- ment to radical.
