Floating homes offer a unique connection to the water, but designing, permitting, and building one requires specialized experience. ECCO works with homeowners, property owners, and developers on new floating homes, replacement homes, substantial remodels, and floating-home moorage development throughout Seattle’s floating-home communities.

Every project brings its own combination of shoreline regulations, environmental requirements, agency approvals, moorage or HOA guidelines, and site-specific challenges. We help evaluate what is possible, develop a thoughtful design, coordinate the consultants and governing agencies involved, and guide the permitting process from beginning to end.

By bringing design and permitting expertise together, we can anticipate challenges early while creating spaces that maximize light, function, outdoor living, and connection to the water. Whether reimagining an existing floating home or beginning a new development, our goal is to make the process clear and create a lasting design that feels at home on the water.
