Woodworker Builds The Perfect Tiny House Boat for Life on the Water

A woodworking wizard named Richard built the Koroc - a beautiful floating tiny house RV on aluminum pontoons. It's unbelievable what a comfortable home he's created in such a small space. Imagine living in this micro cabin, floating on a river or a lake, and enjoying fresh air on an enormous deck? If you can't tell already, we're in love with this boat!

If you want to learn more about Richard's beautiful boat, you can check out his website here:

We randomly drove past this houseboat in Montebello, Quebec, Canada on our way to pick up some RV windows so we emailed the owner and asked him if we could take a tour inside and have him put it in the water for us. Luckily he said yes!

We spent a beautiful sunny afternoon on Le Koroc (built by Richard's company Daigno) admiring his handy work. Everything in this house boat is built by hand, from the beams to the cabinets, the deck, water filter, bathroom, kitchen and more.

Richard has a solar panel for electricity, a Martin propane heater, a propane cooktop, a DIY carbon filter for filtering grey water, a self-contained toilet, two dinettes (one that converts into a double bed), and tons of windows, not to mention the huge deck. It's off-grid minimalist living paradise!

This is the most beautiful tiny house boat I have ever seen.

[shanebeaudrot]

This has got to be the nicest, small houseboat I've ever seen. Beautiful craftsmanship. Richard, you should win a award for your practical, elegant design.

[rjchavers]

I don't say this often but I love this through and through. Just beautiful.

As a homeless vet on social security disability, I've been
Thinking about something like this. Seriously.
Ain't easy living on 1, 100.00 a month.
It's got a toilet and shower, awesome.

This has to be, hands down, the best house boat build I've ever seen. I'd totally move into one just like it in a heartbeat.

The reflection of the water bouncing off the golden wood walls inside is everything...I'm in love with this little houseboat ♡

This builder has an artist heart. Such attention to aesthetic composition and done in a very effective living space design.

The man has great taste in aesthetics and a beautiful design ethic.

[bhewiig]

Absolutely beautiful! And I love that he's filtering the gray water, even though he doesn't have to. i would love to live in a house boat like that.

[maike]

The joy of life! I like the fact that you randomly drove past this houseboat! It just happened and that's just as inspiring as the houseboat itself! :D

[Jon-ivgh]

He did an excellent job. This is probably the best home made houseboat I have ever seen. The woodwork is beautiful. Great job Richard!

[Swilton]

this wood make My Dad smile, he loved wood working so much. This is an absolutely Glorious design.

[ExploringAlternatives]

Hey All! Just to clear up any confusion about the water system on this boat: greywater from the sink and shower are filtered before going into the body of water. The toilet on board is a dry toilet and is not being dumped in the body of water. Toilet waste is referred to as blackwater. Sorry for any confusion :)

[brownie]

"I'm in awe!!!!".... Not only a craftsman, and designer, he is an artist!

[Nomadic.A]

This might be my new favorite tiny dwelling you've show. Everything you need and beautifully made.

[dudie]

Thank you for the tour. You can see Richard put love into this, and has some serious skills. I would love to live on this boat for the summer, or forever!
