20 Modern Boat Houses

From Delightful Docked Dwellings to Floating Eco Homes

— June 7, 2013 — Art & Design
If you just can't get enough of the open sea and the relaxing feeling you get from looking out over the water, then these modern boat houses are the perfect way to live your life close to the waves.

While living literally on top of the water is surely not something for everyone, those inclined to live more adventurously will definitely be attracted to this unique way of life. Traditionally, boat houses were simply marine boats that were converted into living quarters, but nowadays architects are creating much more visually modern and artistic homes on the water for people to live in. From floating eco-friendly homes to chic loft-like abodes, these modern boat houses are making the process of living on the water much more practical and appealing.
