If you just can't get enough of the open sea and the relaxing feeling you get from looking out over the water, then these modern boat houses are the perfect way to live your life close to the waves.

While living literally on top of the water is surely not something for everyone, those inclined to live more adventurously will definitely be attracted to this unique way of life.
