Design firm Izabela Less Architetura laid out the interior of this three level townhouse in order to meet the needs of a young, vibrant, modern family. The most noticeable trait of this space lies in its ease of accessibility. A dark sectional couch sits low to the floor, and the contrasting wood dining room set is arranged to set up to eight people. Wall paintings that could either be abstract in nature or crafted by small children light up the dining area walls. An expertly executed bedroom contains a daybed that doubles as a play area. Colorful toys and bedding gives the room character while still maintaining a level of accessibility appropriate for a child. Everywhere in this townhouse, there are places for the residing family to sit, socialize and relax.

Built in a residential area in Prague, Czech Republic, this contemporary version of the quintessential villa is elegant and slick at the same time. Windows in the front of this towering white structure mimic the façade of apartment buildings. A recessed cut out on the right side of the home doubles as a balcony, with glass railings lining the edge. A tall pine tree and other shrubbery appear at the front gate. Although this house was created by Radan Hubicka Architectural Studio, circa 2005, its overall theme and style is still transcendent today as it was when first built. Its wood parquet floors create a layered effect next to a dark wood bookcase and white and medium colored wood staircase. Geometric shapes zig and zag, from floor to floor, building this interesting home up the ground.

This enormous yet unusually shaped house was designed by Surround Architecture and is located in boulder, Colorado, USA. The exterior of the house is a geometric haven, with angular lines and smooth wooden elements. At the back of the house lies a little out-house that is a perfect get away from the main living space. The open plan living space has very high ceilings and large windows which allow lots of natural light to flood in while the very sophisticated furnishings give the house a bit of a cosy and homely feel. The decor is neutral with added colour injections such as the orange sofa and funky artwork. The pool is at the centre of the house, and surrounded by beach balls it looks very inviting.

If you are short for space why not suspend your bed from the ceiling? Sounds bizarre, but actually works brilliantly and creates a talking point for this interior in London. Sometimes, when we live in a slightly cramped space we all think of ways to optimise our space, here the creativity has worked in its favour. The living area is fairly large, with the bathroom and kitchen at one end and desk area at the other. The stairs leading up to the suspended bed, have a marvellous blackboard coating which is fantastic for the desk sat next to it. Considering its size there is a lot of light in this apartment, with most of it coming from the suspended bed in the ceiling of the room. This would definitely wake you in the mornings!

The Swedish have a delicious taste in interiors, and here is perfect example of why. This apartment is 132 square meters wide and is an absolutely divine piece of design, with is brilliant white walls that contrast beautifully with the signature coloured furniture. The open plan space has access to a terrace outside which is perfect for those long summer evenings. The staircase is a wonderful feature with its stark contrasting black glossy steps that lead up to a rather funky bamboo green walk-in wardrobe. Although the bathroom is slightly removed from the rest of the decor, its old fashioned appearance really works well as it adds some real character to the bathroom with its retro tiling and blue speckled lino.

Built entirely from concrete and glass this outstanding residential building was developed by Jonathan Segal FAIA, and is situated on a rather large plot in California, USA. This 500 square meter house is a true example of the 21st century with its large grey structure and its own surrounding moat. This space really connects with the outside through its use of glass panels and large open plan living space. It really helps to connect the outside to the inside in a flawless and linear way. The furniture is so simple and elegant, without any need for added embellishments to the interior. The spotlights in the roof of this concrete build help to create reflections and depth within the whole space.

Zen philosophy is one of the key fundamental building blocks for this creation that Webber+Studio Architects built to the west of the city of Austin, Texas, USA. The design has been created using a lot of wooden panelling and slating with added touches of glass stone. The Large swimming pool welcomes you when walking up to this house, followed by its large open space and gorgeous woodland setting and resembles a very large mountain chalet overlooking the mountain. The interior of this house mimics the style of the exterior, with its wooden beams, cornicing and not forgetting the large wooden pieces of furniture that help to bring the outside in. The colour palette for this house is neutral, and really helps the warmth of the wood to stand out.

At the front of the house we are greeted by a wonderful curved stone staircase that creates a beautiful setting for this magnificent house. It was developed by TEA2 Architects and is situated in Minneapolis, United States. With its classical styled columns and delicately coloured exterior this house is truly graceful in both form and structure and is every bit the beautiful house inside, as it exhibits on the outside. The house has beautiful views of a lake and even has its own access to a pond, what a bonus! The interior of the house looks wonderful, with its high ceilings and classically styled furniture, plush furnishings and large rooms, it is a house to die for. Every piece of furniture in this house is a centre piece in its own right, from the seating and TV in the bathroom to the large island in the kitchen.

This is a custom built house created by Rockefeller Partners Architects, and they have won many prestigious awards in various categories for their beautiful designs. Built on a magnificent canyon surrounded by a small grove of eucalyptus and pine trees, the house is a combination of geometric lines, wooden materials and edgy construction. The exterior is a true work of art with wooden slating and large windows, not to mention the concrete decking area and pool. On the inside of the house, the interior has been delightfully decorated with wooden panelling, plush carpets and furnishings and concrete feature walls leading up through the stairs. With three levels to this house, it really is a huge build, with many brilliant industrial features. Photos by Eric Staudenmaier.
