Part 4/8:
As construction progressed into the night, the team worked tirelessly to ensure the raft wasn’t just sturdy, but visually appealing. Maintaining an aesthetic quality became just as important as the structural integrity. Triangular supports were incorporated for added stability, while plywood walls painted in a warm “Early American” shade brought life to their floating fortress.
The construction also shifted into a stage of creating spaces efficiently. They added cozy furniture and essential storage, making it clear that even in their makeshift home, comfort was a consideration. Each element—from the flooring to the walls—was planned intricately, ensuring that they could enjoy their time on the water far from shore.
