Foundations
Subjected to hydrostatic pressure, which depends solely on Archimedes' principle, the hull keeps the entire vessel afloat. It is the part of Sweet Home that required the most attention during the design. The hull is like the foundations of a house, and as everyone knows: to build, you always start from the bottom. In a shipyard, Sweet Home is a small artifact; the material chosen for its construction is not among the conventional ones used to build real ships, and the shape is very simple and unusual in the maritime landscape: builders question its function.

The distribution of the interior space was designed to strengthen the structure as much as possible and to correctly divide the ballast that will be placed on board. The bow and stern areas are exposed, while the central zone will have a double-pitched roof with an opening along the ridge. From a design perspective, the hull was conceived to facilitate the assembly of its parts, a system of comb joints and constraints derived from the sheet metal design allowed the builders to approach the work with a very simple and intuitive process. "A strange boat that is assembled like a puzzle" helps to lend credibility to the designers and the author themselves, gaining respect from the builders.
