Exterior Wood Siding Material Gable Roofline Boathouse Design Photos and Ideas

The residents decided to build with a limited set of sustainable materials; for the facades, that meant wood, bamboo, or cork.
A look at the boat's charming cottage-like exterior.
The relatively simple construction incorporates clever sustainable design: a two-level wood roof structure keeps the sun’s heat away from the interior, and small windows at either end facilitate powerful cross-ventilation. It’s natural air-conditioning, and it works beautifully.
The project was reconstructed from an old houseboat that was anchored in the sailing club in Smichov.
