Floating Work of Art: Firmship by Studio Job

The new Firmship 42 is a classic boat of a type that was still being built fifty years ago. But Studio Job turned it into a floating work of art. Now it?s more than just a boat; it?s a luxury house that provides all modern functional comfort. It has been completed with the craftsman?s precision, reinforcing its timelessness. Teak was used for doors, deck furniture and the interior finish. The wood used for cabin has been finished in such a way that the grain of individual planks is seamlessly joined. So this floating house isn?t just luxurious but also welcoming and warm. Currently, the Firmship is only available as 42-foot boat. The next step will be the launch of a Firmship 60.

Located between San Francisco and San Jose in California's great bay, the Atherton Residence by Turnbull Griffin Haesloop Architects combines the features of the urban houses with the passionate focus on nature.
