Living at sea
I grew up in a neighborhood on the water, so it's not surprising that I
feel the "siren's call of the sea." To me, there's nothing more relaxing
or beautiful than the water, whether its a calm lake or a thundering
ocean.
People who live in houseboats intrigue me, too. I understand what
drives them - the desire to be as close to the water as physically
possible - even if the concept of the houseboat intimidates me a bit. I
love the idea of the houseboat, though, and think there's a lot of
inspiration to be drawn from them, for even the most land-loving person.
Here are some great, inspiring and beautiful houseboats:
These
Hong Kong houseboats are the epitome of the traditional houseboat
aesthetic - colorful but a bit run-down and thrown together. They're
great inspiration, though. The
exterior of this modern Seattle houseboat is great-looking and
functional. With multiple decks, the owners have tons of options when
they want to hang out outside. The inside of the houseboat above is open and modern - it's got everything anyone could want in a house on land or at sea. This houseboat on Seattle's Lake Union has all the characteristics of a cool on-land modern home. Plus, what's a great water view without gigantic windows? |
