Eco Factor: Wooden houseboat to provide permanent residences on water.
The very thought of living in a houseboat leaves me enthralled. The whole experience of being surrounded by clean water, while enjoying magnificent view, comfort and luxury is just larger than life. Offering you the same experience in the lap of nature, Rost Niderehe Architects have designed a houseboat on the Eilbekkanal in Hamburg, Germany.
Combining the comfort of a traditional family home with the character of a boat, the stunning houseboat features great woodwork and steel work that enhances the aesthetics. It follows both the naval architecture as well as normal building design. Floating over the cool water of the Eilbek-canal, the contemporary houseboat features rooms for public use on the outside (kitchen, dining room) and private use on the inside (bedroom, bathroom).
This project is a new beginning for offering permanent residences on water. The architects claim that it is Germany’s first settlement on water. This new generation of houseboat has recently been completed and is all set to welcome the inhabitants to live amidst the serene beauty.
