The Ark was originally designed and built in 2013 by Coll Bell, a keen inventor and boat builder by trade. Coll was frustrated with the paper work and expense of building a granny flat/cabin on his property; so he came up with a solution. Since the council will allow you to store a boat without consent, then why not build a houseboat bestowing a small kitchenette, bathroom, & loft.

With the present day risk of climate change and sea level rising, Coll achieved his desire of having a granny flat with an environmental conscience.
