About Floating Fernie
The Floating Fernie – A Tiny Home on Water (THOW²)
You’ve heard of a THOW—a Tiny Home on Wheels. Now meet the next evolution: a THOW² – Tiny Home on Water.
The Floating Fernie is a groundbreaking waterfront living solution that merges minimalist design, marine-grade engineering, and true floating security.
This innovative model is a joint venture between Living on the Bay (lotb.ca) and CCC Group (www.livetiny.co
), combining the precision mechanical float system engineered by Better Barges (www.betterbarges.com) with the proven design excellence of the Fernie Tiny Home Series.
Each Fernie is custom manufactured in sizes ranging from 8' x 12' all the way up to 12' x 40', allowing for everything from compact floating retreats to full-scale floating residences. True minimalist living is achieved through intelligent design that maximizes every inch of space, delivering comfort, efficiency, and storage without compromise.
Built to Never Sink – The Unsinkable Advantage
- Unlike traditional boats—or infamous ships of history—the Floating Fernie doesn’t rely on luck, steel plates, or fragile hulls to stay afloat. It is built on a permanently buoyant barge foundation engineered to be truly unsinkable.
- There are no caveats. No “under certain conditions.”
You could drill a thousand holes, cut it into multiple sections, or subject it to extreme conditions—and it will continue to float exactly the same, keeping you high, dry, and safe above the water. - This is not marketing hype—it’s physics. The Floating Fernie’s foundation is constructed using advanced, non-corrosive, permanently buoyant materials that cannot absorb water, cannot rot, and cannot fail—regardless of environment.
- Once you understand the value of a structure that cannot sink, it becomes difficult to imagine building on anything else.
