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...
Be sure to check out more photos of the construction process of the "Hausbootbau" here.

Same here...
...I thought it was "Barbie's Dream Green Houseboat" - available just in time for Xmas.
Totally--my first thought was "i heart miniatures!"
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's a miniature!
i want one!!!
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).
There's an article about design "in miniature" in this month's edition of ReadyMade www.!
Okay good. I'm glad I'm not crazy. And I do looove miniatures.
