Houseboat Magazine

Thesayboat Built with a clear vision Flowhouse is newly-founded creative studio focused on designing comfortable houseboats with unique style. Their goal is to make it possible for people to live on the water with everything they need by producing convenient houseboats that can be transported almost anywhere. Thesayboat was founded by Marek Ridky and a team of specialists from several branches of house building, boat building, design, etc. The company is based in Prague (Czech Republic) and they're currently looking for a distribution partner in the U.S. so they can produce houseboats in the states. Flowhouse's first product is Thesayboat, which has the typical attributes they want to use in their future models. Thesayboat is mobile, comfortable, modern and can be easily transported. "Thesayboat's vision is to provide comfortable yearround houseboating," says Ridky. "The layout is designed from inspirations of buildings, with emphasis on spaciousness and effectiveness." The style and design has a very modern look. Ridky chose to use stainless steel material, because of its perception of being clean and simple. The boat comes standard with glass sliding doors, large central lighting, a Jacuzzi on the upper deck, spacious rooms, smooth timber siding, a cozy fireplace on the main floor, hard wood floors and a metal staircase. Along with the stainless steel, the manufacturer purposely made rounded corners on the boat for the elegant perception. The boat also comes standard with a thermal solution, so you can use the boat year-round. "This is a houseboat like no other," adds Ridky. "It floats on the water with all the comforts of a home." 46  HOUSEBOAT Magazine  SEPTEMBER | OCTOBER 2013 By Roy Sparks For More Information www.slideshare.net/Thesayboat
