Friendship Boat

Lucas Freire Architecture as Architects

What was the brief?
The Friendship boat is now the office of a remarkable advertising agency. A project to revive the infamous Badboot (a ferry that partially sank), restore it to its former glory and make it user-friendly, pleasant and modern.

The place takes visiting and working to a whole new level of collaboration, immersed in fresh, playful vegetation and colours that stimulate creativity and thinking outside the box.

Why dream of working in an exclusive location overlooking the water when you can be on the water itself?
When clients come to the boat, you offer them a whole new experience: coming on board for a meeting!

Transforming a famous, partially sunken ship was a challenge that Lucas Freire Architecture was happy to take on.
