Arks - houseboats designed solely for housing



April 2007

The innerwaters are nowadays inhabited by about 2400 families on houseboats. Living on the water mainly came in vogue after the second world war when there was a housing shortage on one hand, and a surplus of old cargoships on the other.Under the present policy of the Amsterdam city council , no more new mooring permits are released.In downtown Amsterdam the smallest boats will sell at 80.000 Euro at the least.
