Ideas needed for floating duck house design

4 years ago

I want to build a floating duck house for our mallard family that reside on our pond. I’m struggling to find any decent designs.

Also what is the most environmentally friendly and eco means of making them float.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your suggestions. We have decided to extend the porch under a gable ended roof and demolish the car port. The only remaining problem is what to do with the white wooden cladding? Also, when the car port is demolished there will be holes to fill/cover up on the house and garage wall and we would also dearly like to get rid of the white wooden cladding above the garage door! We could replace the wood cladding with hanging tiles and continue them across the front of the house. Or is there some more modern cladding that we could use and continue it all across the front of the house, down the side of the garage and across the top of the garage door? Or just render the whole of the front of the house?

Hi Shane, Really interesting property you are about to buy. Lots of possibilities to create a nice place where to live. About your question, an open plan living space is completely compatible with having a two-storey home. Open style stairs are the best solution for this, but where to place them will be even more imporant I guess. Do not think about stairs as an element that blocks or interrumpts the space, but as a piece of your open plan ground floor which can even be its main feature. I leave you a couple of pictures that can help you visualise it. Please let me know if you need any more advice or precise drawings. Happy to help. Ana

Here's a quite radical layout change. Internal walls, staircase, yet nothing too unrealistic I guess. Everything on your wishlist is in it: Hallway, bigger Master, open Kitchen with island, even managed to make the family Bath a bit bigger (be it just some extra elbow space). Only thing I've done to the loadbrearing wall, was creating a doorway to the kitchen. The external storage could still be there, but a lot(!) smaller, because of the staircase. The lounge door is moved, to divert traffic, you could close it off completely though. Hallway wider, coats under stairs. Study/playroom still there, sacrificed a bit of it for the staircase. Master bedroom now has space for a massive closet, perhaps return some to the landing for a linen closet and/or move the bottom wall to give some width to the bedroom next to it. Tried to keep the landing (ex staircase) as compact as possible, added the old landing to the bedrooms and family bath. Hope it'll inspire you ;)

Hi Ellie Good questions! Happy to use all 3 rooms if needed. The house is bigger than we need so will have office, den etc upstairs. Our main dining table will go in the living room as it's plenty big enough. I'll attach a floor plan so you can see where the doors lead to. It's a very blurry plan and you can't read the measurements but it's all the estate agents had! The garden runs to the back of the Kitchen/breakfast/lounge. Right now there is one door in the kitchen room that leads to the garden but one idea is to put french doors to the garden in the breakfast room. Seating numbers are flexible. Would need at least 2 seats but if we can get more, all the better! Appreciate the input!
