Float 52’, Mr. Rossmassler and Ms. Purcell’s prototype and personal Barge Yacht, a two-story home with a third-story roof deck, is part beach club and part loft space. The minimalist design features an open plan layout on the first and second decks with flexible furnishings allowing for a variety of configurations and uses. The first deck offers a galley style kitchen designed with ombré kitchen cabinetry and a recessing bar/kitchen window for indoor/outdoor entertaining. A retractable full wall-width glass garage door flanks the open living area. A 12×12 foot hydraulic aft ramp on this deck is ideal for launching small watercraft, lounging, and landing to shore. The first deck also includes a full bath with a composting toilet.
