If you had a yacht wouldn’t you like to travel and cruise all the day long until you get tired and want to go home. And after that, wouldn’t it be nice if you could get out of the yacht and step right into your home? It sounds wonderful and it’s not just a dream or theory. Such a place really exists. This is a wonderful collection of waterfront estates called The Royal Villas.

There are a total of six villas here and it’s easy to see why they are called “royal”. Let’s take this beautiful villa as an example. Located in the Royal Phuket Marina, in Phuket, Thailand, it’s surrounded by beautiful palm trees and flowing water. The colors are vibrant and the whole exterior resembles a paradise. The villa also has a private yacht berth like all the other villas in this collection. It’s a unique feature that makes it that more special.

If you would like to see a more unusual tree house, we have a very beautiful example.

House N was originally built in 1938 but it definitely doesn’t look old now. Located in Noordwijk, The Netherlands, this beautiful residence just got a makeover. It has been renovated in 2012 and now it has a modern and very elegant look. The project was developed by Maxwan in collaboration with structural engineer F. Wiggers – Varsseveld.

Originally, the N House was the holiday home of a concrete factory owner. With time, it got old and the weather definitely had something to do with it. It came a time when this building was in bad need of a renovation. So in 2012 it finally got a makeover. Lots of changes and repairs had to be made. The roof had to be replaced entirely and the basement needed a lot of attention as well. The windows were outdated so they had to be replaced as well. Moreover, some of the spaces were too small so the client wanted something to be done about it.
