Water world or the Magic of floating houses – interesting selection of unusual houses on the water

House on the water, reminiscent of a boat or boat – what is it? Most floating dwellings are movable, but some modern structures have the advantage of being moored to the dock or simply fixed in place. Let’s take a look at just such options, dear readers of Forum City. Stationary or mobile, you decide for yourself, but the fact that they are fabulous – you definitely can not argue with that!

There is a spiral staircase that connects the first and second floors. Below you can see the living area in the shadow of the sun: translucent blinds not only hide, but also protect, while absolutely not interfering with the enjoyment of the amazing view.

The following image shows the kitchen. Everything here suggests that the house is not standing on solid ground. Who wouldn’t want to enjoy a meal to the sound of splashing water or watch sailboats drift by lazily?? The brilliant island is the bar counter, and it has enough seating to admire the outside scenery.

While on the deck of this hotel, you can admire the sea, the boats and the beautiful coastal buildings. The main purpose of this architecture is to avoid cluttering the space with chairs that might interfere with the view of the sea.
