Let’s face it, the “live board” culture is probably the closest analogy to the “tiny living” movement that has exploded over the last few years, even if the later did not descend from it. Still, there is a lot to be learned from live boards, and this lovely modern style houseboat is probably a good place to get inspiration and wonder from.
