hah hah it looks like someone built a ship hull, flipped it upside down and used it as a roof. Clever but not very artistic or original (at least by appearance of the photo).
My brother is a custom wood worker by profession and he's shown me some amazing things over the years (not just his work, which is itself astonishingly beautiful sometimes). Wood work has seriously entered the fine art form category now in terms of pure sculpture and art pieces with no practical utility except for pure aesthetics.
One of the things he helped to design and build was the signature train-car used in the awful movie the Wild Wild West. The film sucked big time (and lost a ton of money) but the production designers spared no expense on the realistic period-work for the train car. Thankfully the studio did not scrap the train after filming, but instead allowed it to be placed in a museum.
