Detached Housing-Dock Houses

In his extensive research on housing and housing types, Schoenauer, included types of floating and dock houses, in Vancouver, Canada, and around the country. In Cities, Suburbs, Dwellings in the Postwar Era he writes “Recently, to beat the high cost of the land, some home buyers have resorted to living in houseboats moored in harbors. Floating bungalows with wood sidings, two story postmodern houses, and wide range of other building types, form a cluster of a small residential community called the Sea Village at Vancouver, British Columbia. Afloat on False Creek near Granville Island, these marine homes, registered as vessels, rise and descend with the tides.”
