Houseboat keeps a piece of Seattle history

The cedar, steel and concrete construction of Denise Draper's houseboat was designed by Ryan Mankoski of Ninebark Design Build to weather, and to tie the new houseboat to the old industrial waterfront. Mankoski was inspired by the Ballard Locks to design the living area as a transparent chamber. Dyna's own metal shop manufactured custom steel window and door frames that would rust.
