Creating Tulana Taggs
DESIGNING A FLOATING HOME
Tulana is a brand-new floating home completed in May 2022, as featured on the Channel 4's 'My Floating Home' in 2023, Series 4 Episode 4 on Catch-up. The former floating home (dating back to the 1980s) was demolished down to its hull in December 2021, Ballasting issues were corrected before a new timber structure was erected January 2022. The apex roof was covered with lightweight aluminium tiles and the flat roof sealed with fibreglass. The structure was subsequently made weatherproof (with breathable membrane and cladding), before the work in the internal rooms commenced. It was a steep learning curve for the host; however it was a fabulous adventure. Tulana as a short stay destination has delighted guests since June 2022.
