What this video covers

Marina and Michel construct a two-story studio building to serve as a workspace and temporary living quarters while they build their future catamaran, the Motion Me 3.0:34 The structure features concrete block walls insulated with expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam to improve thermal and acoustic performance.3:55 The mezzanine level serves as a functional tiny house, designed with a layout that mimics the intended interior of their boat, including a kitchen, bathroom, and flexible sleeping area.0:54 The roof construction utilizes 9-meter-long Galvalume metal sheets to minimize joints and potential leaks.10:08 Lifting the heavy timber roof beams proved difficult after a delivery truck became stuck in soft ground, requiring the couple to organize a manual lifting operation using a chain hoist and assistance from friends.13:35 The project prioritizes functional design and material efficiency, aiming to test boat-living concepts in a land-based environment before final implementation on the vessel.1:19
