Possibly the coolest house boat we've ever laid our eyes upon, the Das Schwimmhaus is not only a floating example of fine architecture, but also was manufactured using green materials. More photos and info under the jump...

I don't know, it still looks like a model to me! Are there any pictures of the finished product that include a person for size reference? (I only saw pictures in progress)

It is a model. An architectural concept actually. It is something that "may" go into production. I just read an article on this (I have no idea where), and it is a model built at 1/3 or 1/6 scale.
If anyone locates the source please post a link as I feel that I am loosing my mind (it happens when you are on parental leave).
