Houseboat on the Eilbek Canal

German design office sprenger von der lippe, has recently completed the ‘houseboat on the eilbek canal’, a floating residence situated between two bridges along a waterway in Hamburg, Germany.

If only for the view…

Right in the historic heart of Budapest, Hungary lies this old building. The Anker Palace, as it’s called was originally the headquarters of Austrian insurers Der Anker. Built in 1910, it’s actually two buildings with a narrow street in between. This building houses an exceptional loft: it has the industrial look, the bare beams, even a tower.
But when you step outside, you find yourself not in an industrial area, but right in the middle of the city.
