Hausboot Silver Beaver

Posted by Jessie on Feb 7, 2012 in ARCHITECTURE

Floating on the Hunte River in Oldenburg, Germany this small dwelling is sitting on water and nicely integrated into its surrounding wooded landscape. Built by Confused-Direction Design, a single pitch roof is permeated with a dormer which allows daylight into the lofted bedroom which is accessed with a ladder stair. Room arrangements, materials, and textures all designed to work together to create clear, warm and bright feeling for its residents. Specially made for its smallest inhabitants, the pet cats have their own bedrooms connected to the common spaces of the house. A centrally located bullerjan oven heats the interior through a method of convection of heated air; locally sourced larch wood covers the boat house and floor surfaces.

Jessie was born in China in 1989; she holds a Bachelor degree in Marketing and Global Management from Binghamton University and is currently a marketing major MBA student there. Her diverse background provided her with early exposure to different cultures which led her to take an interest in international business development. Even though she has serious intentions in becoming a globalized business woman in the future she also has many hobbies that people normally wouldn’t link together. She is a cosmetics/skincare enthusiast who started her own YouTube channel as a beauty guru in hopes of sharing her knowledge and experiences with the rest of the community. She is a dedicated foodie that spends countless hours researching the best places in town to eat and enjoy time with her friends. With possibilities of culinary school and makeup freelancing in her future, she is open-minded and hopes to live as optimistic as she can be.
