This a plot of about 330 square meters, this modern home is proof that good things come in small packages. The exterior is very modern in appearance with some industrial overtones evident in many places. The white and gloss black finishes makes the whole exterior look contemporary and stylish and creates a very interesting home. The interior of the house portrays modern style in all its glory, with mirror-gloss black finish, beautiful Italian tile and hardwood floors and this only names a few of the impressive details in this house. This modern home in Perth, Australia, is the latest work of Residential Attitudes, who show us the perfect combination of intelligent design, ultra-modern features and advanced technologies.

This very unusual house has some interesting design features that help make it look straight out of the 18th century. The house is situated in the green valley of the river surrounded by deciduous trees in a very mountainous region. With a style of a early 18th century agricultural building, this building oozes raw style and rustic features and was created on the site of an old farm by architectural firm, PPA. The house is completely masked and merges with the hillside making it the perfect connection between Mother Nature and humans. The architects involved skilfully used every existing item from the old agricultural building and transformed this project into a unique retreat in very beautiful surroundings

The owners of this house had spent many years looking for the perfect place for their home, traipsing through different plots of land in search for the ideal spot. After a long search, they came across this lovely sloping section of land just at the foot of the mountains in Nagano Prefecture in Japan. Once they had found this spot, they then went to professional architects at Kidosaki Architects Studio in order to implement their dreams. This modern, unique design with a total area of 303 square meters is the result of this marvellous collaboration which offers spectacular views of the surrounding landscape from almost every point of the house. The interior has been designed in a minimalist style, to make a special emphasis on the contemporary nature of the building.

This utterly charming modern home has been specifically designed by Kvartal Studio Group for a young family in Odessa, Ukraine. Despite its relatively small area of about 200 square meters, this house combines various different styles, hues, materials and textures to give a really homely feel to the whole house. Each space has its own atmosphere and tone, giving the house real character and individuality. There is a very interesting wooden staircase that leads to the private rooms on the second level that frames the living area and gives it some height and dynamism. There are lots of little additions in this house that are quite charming in appearance, such as the chalkboard wall in the dining space and the vibrant childrens bedroom.

Standing tall on top of a small mound, blending into its wilderness settings with almost naturalistic camouflage, stands this wonderful and extremely charming little chalet. Located in the mountains near the border between Italy and France, this small chalet was created by con3studio and has been made from wooden and glass panels that help to keep it fused with nature. The architects deliberately created an almost transparent appearance so that not only could it be used as a house; it could be an invisible setting to watch wild animals in their natural habitat. Inside, the interior is very modern, yet very cosy making it the perfect place to get out of the cold breeze and snow into a warm home.

At the top of a historic building located in the heart of New York, sits this wonderfully light and spacious loft complex that has a long and narrow shape and construction. According to the architect Adi Gershoni, this loft was intended for a husband and wife who work from home and needed a space that was fit for both work and play. They wanted to have a kitchen, dining room, living room, home office, bedroom, guest room and space for a large collection of books. The aim was to put it all of this into the area of ​​204 square meters, and the architects have done a fantastic job in making the owners dreams come true. This is a contemporary space, perfect for a modern lifestyle.

On a plot of land that is surrounded by traditional looking houses, this building really stands out in the crowd. This modern house was completed in 2012 by Jun Igarashi Architects and is located in the suburbs of Sapporo, Japan. The plot is typical for an area where the elevation difference between the road and land is very high so the view from the house is better than expected. Like most other houses in Japan, the relatively small land area creates a space that is perfect for a narrow and tall building like this one. The exterior of the house looks very minimalistic in appearance, and this design choice continues through into the interior of the house.

This holiday home is the result of long-standing friendship between client and architect. Their shared love of sailing and the Australian coast inspired the appearance of this house which is located near to the ocean. Large amounts of glass have been used in order for the views of the surrounding vegetation, the valley and the ocean to be seen from every window. On the ground floor there is a large kitchen, dining room and living room which have all been designed in a simple, yet practical way. In the western part of the living room, it opens out onto a large cantilevered deck, which is surrounded by a stainless steel mesh. In the east wing there is a terrace with a garden that has a lovely atmosphere and aura. This modern holiday home was designed by Tim Spicer Architects closely with Col Bandy Architects and is located in Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia.

As you walk into this modern apartment located in Moscow, Russia, it is clear to see how much thought has gone into the design and execution of this interior. As soon as you walk into the apartment, the sheer amount of light that bounces off the white walls is astonishing and really opens up the whole place. Designed by local company SL Project, the apartment oozes contemporary living and has some rather amazing and elegant design features. The designers skilfully diluted the white flush of colour with black accents and other neutral colours that can be seen in the furniture. Despite its relatively small construction, the apartment consists of an open living room where there is a kitchen and dining area, a bright minimalist bedroom with corner window, children’s room and bathroom, which overlooks the city.

From a certain angle, this house is nearly invisible, completely dissolving into the green hillside and becoming part of nature. This modern house is approximately 140 square meters and was designed by AR + C in the beautiful Ecuador. The house was conceived as an extension of the natural landscape, with the owners wanting it to evolve into a more eco-friendly home without ruining the surrounding views and hillside. The grassed roof deck provides an excellent viewing platform which overlooks the magnificent view of the mountains and surrounding countryside. The interior of the house has an open plan living area, with a column in the centre of the space to create an almost regal feel. The interior is designed in a contemporary style, which creates a warm and cosy atmosphere.
