Could you work in a floating garden office?

Keeping on the aquatic theme, Fraser Weir over at the cabin living blog asks if there's anybody out there who would be interested in commissioning a log cabin on a barge (and is going to put together some plans in the near future so it's worth checking back). Here are some of his early thoughts:
"Why not buy a steel barge from Holland as done on Grand Designs and then build a Helsinki Log cabin on the deck? I think it would be a grand design worth seeing. Not only would the hull provide additional accommodation but the Helsinki itself has four rooms for living in... I'm not sure what the barge itself would cost plus the mooring but the cabin is around £10,000. We can even fit the kitchen and bathrooms as well as the log cabin. It could be a very inexpensive way to have a luxury home close to London."
