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 .
Positioned perfectly amongst tall trees, green shrubs and a large mountain to frame the house’s structure, this modern two-storey house is a work of art. Designed in 2013 by Hughes Umbanhowar Architects, this home measures in at around 380 square meters and is located in the town of Big Timber in Montana, USA. The house is situated in a clearing of land and is cushioned by a grove of poplars by a beautiful, calming river. This river often overflows its banks in the spring, so the house was set well above the flood line in order to prevent damage to the house. This wood and glass structure consists of two separate facades, which joined together to form a unique contemporary T-shaped house. Landscape Raymond Jungles.
This extension to an existing house was built so the owners could install a brand new kitchen and diner as well as another open plan family room. It has a traditionally styled open plan living space where the family room, kitchen and home office reside. The home office is near the corner of the space, which, if necessary, can be hidden via sliding doors to give a definite spit between work and play. The exterior of the extension has been built with modern beige façades with wooden detailing that give it a traditional twist. The extension was recently completed by Studio S Squared Architecture and is located in San Francisco, California, USA. The interior has a pleasant pastel interior with lots of modern amenities and gorgeous textured wooden flooring.
This minimalistic piece of architecture has some wonderful elements that seem to captivate the imagination. From the front of the house it is clean to see the many volumes of the house, with balconies and terraces residing on the top floor and beautiful white geometric lines. The exterior of the house is a simple combination of white painted concrete and shiny chrome which seems to give it a high-class ship look. As you walk into the house, you are greeted with a fresh and open feeling thanks to the abundance of white within the interior. With such a blank canvas, this house is far from complicated and looks tranquil and very spacious. One of the most stunning features of this house is the roof top garden/terrace, you can look at the colourful flowers growing through the full length windows in the hallway on the upper floor; what an mesmerizing beautiful house.

Settled on the ridge of a hillside in the village of Vitznau, Switzerland, this unusual concrete structure has a interesting secret. The owners of the house approached Lischer Partner Architekten with the idea of living in a wooden house, but due the the foggy surroundings, they needed something a little bit more robust. The architects came up with a solution and created a wooden house, surrounded by a concrete shell to protect the soft core. This resulted in a truly beautiful home, with a light and very modern interior. The slim planks of wood add texture and depth to the interior and help to give it warmth and vitality. The large windows are an added bonus, as they look out towards the wonderful foggy lake ahead.
This very unusual and angular building is the work of Andrew Berman Architects and was designed and built in 2008 in Belporte, New York, USA. Its remarkable exterior has been created using wooden veneers in large planks to give a larger textured finish. This works extremely well with its angled walls and geometrical structure. The house is surrounded by beautiful forests, and the exterior blends in amazingly well with its natural surroundings. Inside, the interior is very similar to the construction of the house and mimics its angled exterior with the room layouts and even the furniture! The main living space has some very unique chairs that are futuristic and modern in design and style. The tall ceiling in the living area also helps to make the room feel more spacious and makes seem lighter and more open. It also has a large, thin window at the top of the room which allows a tremendous amount of light into it for the best part of the day.
Created with four simple geometric shapes, this house is a fantastic example of good modern design. The house is located on the highest point of a hill, two hours away from New York City, USA. The four equal-sized boxes were built as simple designs and dressed in corrugated galvanized steel to help keep the modernistic look alive. With such a strict and simple exterior, the interior is slightly more interesting. Although it is still modern in style and design, a softer approach has been taken to give the interior a warm and inviting atmosphere. Neutral colours have been used in order to soften the sharp edges of the exterior framework. This holiday house is located in the village of Ancrum, NY, USA, and was designed for a young couple by HFF Architects.
