The Sails House is an art piece that could be used as a house or a versatile living space. The design is inspired by the basic architecture of a boat, and follows the same method of construction used in crafting the hull of the boat. The figure flows from the top of the roof, extending outward, forming the shape of a sail flying freely in the wind.
