They may look like something out of a 70’s science fiction movie, but these unusual “sea suites” could be the vacation trend of the future!

These elegant egg-shaped structures, developed by Designer Henry Ward, feature clean lines and smooth, organic curves and can be used as houseboats, floating lodges and beach houses right on the sand.

“This form maximises internal volume for surface area and creates a series of attractive shapes and spaces, but is also readily transportable to almost any site accessible by sea,” the designer has said about the unique structures.

“We’ve just scraped the surface of the design flexibility available, from individual houseboat and lakeland lodge to resort cabin, marina office, beach house, and even art galleries and other novel commercial spaces,” he adds.
