Robert Harvey Oshatz Inspires With His Wood and Waves Fennell Residence
Jessica Marcel — November 7, 2009 — Art & Design
Architect Robert Harvey Oshatz let a wave inspire this houseboat, otherwise known as the Fennell Residence. The design is all curves, waves and gentle slopes. It's a harmonious match for the seas and rivers the houseboat was designed to float on.
Robert Harvey Oshatz always does an amazing job incorporating natural forms and beauty into all of his creations.
Implications - The beautiful house was built to let in a lot of natural light on all sides and even from the roof. The interior is cozy with wooden flooring and modern furniture. The waviness of the home looks as if it is constantly moving, just like the sea itself. It certainly would be quite the retreat to come home to!
