Ever since the movie
Sleepless in Seattle it has been a secret dream of mine to live in a floating house in Seattle. This week
Houzz posted an
article about such a home:

This house has a great industrial style sitting right on the water. |

"A spiral staircase leads from the first floor to the roof deck. Putting it on the exterior meant they didn't lose any second-floor space to another staircase." |

"Painted steel railings lead to the front door, which is covered in sheets of copper. 'We added portholes throughout, which added a nautical theme,' says Nelson." |

The windows on the back of the house are garage doors that open out to the water...this is obviously my favorite part of the home. |

The un-finished columns and staircase design add to the industrial look with built-ins nodding to a ships cabin. |

The skylight is a great way to bring in a ton of natural light to the interior upstairs hallway. |

The guest bath has beautiful tile mosaic walls and a clear glass shower enclosure to keep the space open and airy. |

Although, I would prefer a garden and lounge area on the roof, some would prefer a putting green, and this is exactly what they did, why not? |
