We have been working this past year with a fabulous company European Waterways that offer a five star service cruising on the canals through the French country side. Our brief over the next couple of seasons is to refurbish the barges offering high-end luxury. As this is a commercial venture the boat interior design needs to be fire rated and items easily removed when occasionally the barge floods! We are trying to keep the integrity of the barge’s interiors, with the beautiful polished wood finishes and the original banquet seating design, creating the standard of a ‘floating five star hotel’.
