The SHIP House seems made for an admiral, or at least a retired admiral who no longer sets out on the high seas. Made out of steel, this residence take on a vessel-like appeal that will surely speak to any boat-loving individual.
Designed by Katsuhiro Miyamoto & Associates, the SHIP House is located in Nishinomiya, Hyogo, Japan. This two-tiered abode seems to float above land, creating an illusion that it is ready to set sail.
