There’s something unique about floating houses that makes them incredibly appealing. Even though some people don’t like the idea of being in a place that’s surrounded by water, living in a floating house can be pretty much amazing. This concept has been developed over the years, and we now have all sorts of unique designs, from simple floating houses to entire private islands.

But whether it’s a tiny house or an expansive floating structure, the feeling of freedom and the incredible views are always amazing. It’s like having your little piece of paradise. Moreover, it’s the best place if you like how the waves rock your home. Here’s a selection designed to capture the beauty of these houses.

01. Floating House In Ontario

Floating House In Ontario

We’re going to start with this lovely floating house in Ontario, Canada. It was designed by MOS Architects and completed in 2005. The house has an area of 186 square meters, and it’s on Lake Huron. The unusual conditions on the site meant that the architects had to adopt special construction techniques. The actual house was built separately on the frozen lake and then anchored to the base. The home sits on a structure of steel pontoons.

This floating house is located on Powell Lake in coastal British Columbia and has a solid traditional design. It has a simple structure with one and a half stories. It sits on a support structure made with giant logs and steel cables, tightened with winches and hydraulic jacks and with railroad spikes. This structure is probably the most complicated element of this house’s design. The exciting thing about this property is that, besides the actual house, it also includes a boat dock, a shed, and even a vegetable garden.

03. Boathouse

This is a modern version of a boat house. It was designed and built by TYIN tegnestue architects, and it’s located in Møre og Romsdal. Completed in 2011, the house has a design that has the traditional structure of Norwegian boat houses at its base. It was built with materials from an old boat house that had to be demolished. Some features have been reused, such as the windows or paneling. The exterior was given a lovely grey patina that gives the house character.

04. Private Yacht As Tropical Island

Having a lovely floating cabin is nice, but some people want to take the idea to a different level. They want to create their floating paradise, so they come up with ideas that seem futuristic at first but have the potential to become a reality. Take, for example, this spectacular structure. It’s a combination between a giant yacht and a private island. It has an extendable deck, guest cabanas, a pool, a volcano, balconies, and many more spectacular features. {found on Yachtislanddesign}.

05. Futuristic Floating Ecopoli

Here’s an even more impressive project. This is Lilypad, a dramatic floating structure designed by Vincent Callebaut. It can accommodate almost 50,000 people and has a unique look, primarily due to its green features. Even though it’s still just a concept, the designer hopes it will become a reality by the turn of the century. It would indeed be a luxurious retreat far from everything and everyone. {found on TrendHunter}.

06. Floating House On Amstel River

But let’s now get back to projects that exist in reality. An excellent example would be this floating house found on the Amstel river in Amsterdam, Holland. It’s a structure that beautifully combines functionality and minimalist design. It was a project by +31 Architects, modeled after creating traditional floating houses using modern methods. It has a total surface of 200 square meters and has two levels. The lower level goes underwater, a decision based on the fact that the maximum height of the house had to be 3 meters, a limit imposed by the local rules. {found on oradearhitectura}.

When you think of a floating house, you immediately picture the views, the water, the nature, and you imagine it as a vacation retreat and getaway destination. It’s precisely what the Sealander was designed for. The Sealander is a 2-wheeled carry-along accommodation that you can attach to the back of your car and take with you on your vacations. It’s a very versatile environment that can even sit on the water. The multipurpose structure is compact and can be placed in basically any environment.

All the fantastic floating houses presented so far have in common that they allow you to enjoy nature and admire incredible water views. But what about underwater pictures? They can be unique too. They’re even more spectacular because of all the mystery. Trilobis 65 allows you to admire them while relaxing and enjoying your vacation. Trilobis 65 is a semi-submerged structure designed by Giancarlo Zema. It can accommodate six people and has four levels.

09. Muskoka Boathouse

We’re now going to focus our attention on a beautiful remodel of a boathouse. Located on Muskoka Lake in Ontario, Canada, this floating house was completed in 2007. It was a project by Christopher Simmonds Architect,  a 600-square-foot structure. It has two levels: the guest suite and a simple and rustic design, with a roof terrace and a deck. The interior is minimalist, inviting, and modern.

10. Curved Floating House

This is a similar yet very different floating house. It’s simple, but it’s also unique. The shape of the house is the most eye-catching and unusual detail. The curved walls evoke the beauty of the rippled and make the house perfectly integrated into the landscape. The glass façade of the house allows fantastic views. In addition to being eye-catching, the place is also sustainable, a detail that makes it even more enjoyable. {found on oshatz}.

11. Modern Floating House

The last floating house we’ll present is a contemporary structure with a minimalist and stylish design. It has several levels, and the upper portion features a glass façade with uninterrupted views of the beautiful surrounding landscape. Because of the complexity of the invention, this doesn’t seem like a vacation retreat but more like an actual residence. {found on blog}.
