Earthy Minimalistic Boathouses

The Nobis House is a Beautiful Masterpiece Located in a Rural Area

— July 29, 2011 — Art & Design
Located in Berg by Lake Starnberg, a recreation area for the people of Munich, Germany, Nobis House is a stunning minimalist creation.

Architect and engineer Susanne Nobis designed this house for her and her family. The Nobis House is made up of two different living spaces which are connected in the middle. One is for the main living area and the other contains the guest rooms and office space.

Modeled after traditional boathouses which are on the water, Nobis House sits at 60 centimeters above ground. The effect is a structure that looks as if its lightly floating.

Both modern and classic, Nobis House is what living in futuristic olden days would look like.
