A new houseboat sits within Sausalito's historic floating home community. The plan compresses living spaces into a simple cubic volume while creating spatial complexity through split levels. Material layering on exterior and interior surfaces establishes depth and differentiates programmatic zones. Public and private functions are arranged in layered sequences to enhance privacy and circulation. Split-level changes generate distinct spatial experiences, daylighting opportunities, and visual connections across levels. The design strategy maximizes spatial variety and functional separation within a compact floating footprint, responding to context and the traditions of the marina community.
