Half Way House
I looked at London housing design standard and it was considered carefully at the minimum space which should be provided for the people based on this standard.
I looked at narrow boats as well, and the space they are providing .
By studying and looking at different narrow boats, barge housing design standard was created.
A simple comparison between the standard London houses and the barges reveals that the barge dwellers have to deal with severe limitations in terms of space. The chart above summarises a small comparison between the space available in the standard London home and that of the barge dwellers. In this respect I draw your attention to the following size comparison of one & two bedrooms accommodation in London with the size of a boat:
As shown, whilst the standard space for one person in a conventional accommodation in London is around 39 Meter, only around 10.5 meter is available for a single person who live in a small barge.
