Dutch Floating Home Moored in a beautiful and tranquil spot in a typically Dutch landscape, lies this houseboat that is surrounded by open water from three sides. Tasked with its design in 2010, the client brief was to design a floating home with a simple ambiance and minimalist look that would seamlessly blend in with the environment. With that in mind, we chose to design a striking “jewel box”, finished in black-stained red cedar. Despite strict building regulations dictating its height, we were able to realize two storeys: the bedrooms and basement lie below the waterline.
荷兰漂浮的住宅在一个典型的荷兰景观中的一个美丽和宁静的地方停泊，这是由三面敞开的水环绕的这一家庭船。在2010年的设计中，客户端简介是设计一个简单的氛围和极简的外观的浮动家，它将与环境无缝融合。考虑到这一点，我们选择设计一个醒目的“珠宝盒”，在黑色的红色雪松中完成。尽管严格的建筑法规规定了它的高度，但我们能够实现两层：卧室和地下室位于吃水线以下。

The spacious sleeping quarters and bathrooms are situated in the basement, which is partly below the waterline. The interior design of the level was soberly plastered in white and has been given a light- colored floor to create more optical sense of space. The kitchen and living area blend seamlessly into- and extend onto the enclosed outdoor patio. When the shutters are closed, the exterior of the houseboat functions like a shell-like enclosure. When drawn back and the patio doors opened, a big ‘open living’ feel is created.
宽敞的寝室和浴室位于地下室，部分位于水线以下。该水平的室内设计是清醒地涂上白色，并已给予浅色的地板，以创造更多的光学空间感。厨房和客厅无缝地融合在一起，延伸到封闭的室外露台上。当百叶窗关闭时，游艇的外部功能就像外壳一样。当拉开天井门的时候，一种巨大的“开放的生活”感觉被创造出来。
