Tamás Bene creates Hungarian houseboat to be "in harmony with its surroundings"

Hungarian architect Tamás Bene has designed a houseboat, which was informed by local fishing boats, as a holiday home on Lake Tisza for a young couple from Budapest.

Called Sneci, the floating summer home was designed specifically for its home on Lake Tisza – a 7,000-hectare artificial reservoir and nature reserve that is home to a menagerie of wildlife including more than 100 different bird species.

Drawing on the vernacular of local fishing boats, the vessel's entire structure and cladding is made of aluminium, save for the roof, decking and rear wall, which are finished in heat-treated thermowood.
