Bjarke Ingels house boat
On the water in the heart of Copenhagen, right outside the Opera House and the Royal Academy of Architecture, architect Bjarke Ingels has docked his houseboat *Bukken Bruse* and installed 150 m² of nordic blue cement tiles across the entire deck of the old island ferry.
The transformation of the old island ferry into a unique, modern home has been achieved with equal parts innovation and tradition. The boat’s metal walls harmonize with the cement tiles' raw, industrial concrete surface. Large portholes with views of the water create a connection between the sea and the blue stick tile, *STIX North Sea*. On the "bridge" on the first floor, the bedroom features light gray cement tiles in a warmer tone, offering views across the waters of Copenhagen.
