Today we will show you an astonishing houseboat in Victoria, Australia, a project by Pipkorn & Kilpatrick. The design firm completed the interiors of the boat and the result is a modern and stylish space. I love houseboats and its charm. I believe that with the right ideas you can get yourself a pretty unique and comfortable place on a boat. Check out this project and you will certainly daydream about living on a boat. ;)
Make sure to check out Pipkorn & Kilpatrick website for further information about this and other inspiring projects. See you next week.
Description from the architects: The stunning natural backdrop of Lake Eildon and its surrounds was our inspiration for this unique project. Natural, textured and sustainable materials were balanced with the reflective properties of the water to create calm and light-filled areas. All spaces were made to feel generous and flow-through achieved through clever space planning and through convincing the builder to raise ceiling heights beyond the usual and to eliminate claustrobia-inducing bulkheads by burying services between the ceiling joists. The ground floor was designed as a 'free flow of lounge, dining room, galley kitchen and helm', while the top floor was divided into living and a private zone (housing three bedrooms and a bathroom feeding off the corridor). We loved every minute of designing this space and the challenges it presented.
We found this house at Contemporist.
