Please describe the project specifications

We designed a version of the final product on Sketchup. After few modifications to meet the client requirements, we started the production of the enclosure.

We used 1 3/4' stainless steel tubing for the full frame, stainless steel fittings. Some of the tubes and fittings were welded together to add strength to the frame, but in very particular places they were not to allow the client to easily disassemble the frame.

The rounded windows can be dismounted with zips, and Ferrari mesh rounded sun screens go in place on very sunny days.

The windows and the open view at the front were made with strata-glass.

The body was made with acrylic canvas.


What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

The client requested a Party enclosure for his Dutch barge. He asked for a robust enclosure capable to stand the strong winter winds, but at the same time easy to remove in case he change his mooring place.
Another special request was privacy when using it. The boat/mooring is surrounded by new high buildings and privacy was very important for him. He requested eight rounded windows (following the barge design with big rounded portholes), which he could open. Also, the client requested a roll up door and an open view at the front.
He asked as well for sunscreen shades on windows and front panel.


What is unique or complex about the project?

The complexity of this project was the size of it, and the requirement to be able to dismantle it easily.


What were the results of the project?

We came up with what the client called "an awesome design and space for his parties". The client is extremely happy with the final product. He installed a dance mirror ball, led spot lights and music system.
