Boat houses

Some concept art for a discontinued project. Set on a remote island with no real contact to the outside world, people had to make do with what they had on hand. They resorted to using old parts from boats that would wash up on shore as building materials. It was really fun designing these and brainstorming different uses for these parts and materials.
