Housing outside the box: The Floating House

I'm a fan of creative housing. In fact, I adore it. There's just something so incredibly endearing about thumbing one's nose at the established pre-fabbed, pipe-dream contained within four overpriced suburban walls.

Feast your eyes on this tiny floating home in a floating community in Oregon:

The lake view from the front windows and rooftop, the closeness to an untamed force of nature (water), the idea of parking your boat inside your home (one of the neighbors' set up shown in the film), the utilitarian interior... Oh the possibilities.
