Alki Townhomes in Seattle by Johnston Architects

These charming contemporary twin buildings are located only a few steps away from Alki Beach, Seattle. The design is really luxurious. The advantages that can be seen outside are the impressive glass facades and the roof terraces opened towards the city to catch the neighborhood, the Seattle cityscape and the beach. Both houses have three bedrooms with two master suites and fitted by a garage for two cars, spacious kitchens, walk-in showers, Jacuzzi bath, natural bamboo and slate flooring, and much more high-end finishes. The rooms located right beneath the roofs are splendid with their unusual geometry. These twins offer friendly and warm atmosphere. More information here.

The Shell House in the Forest by ARTechnic Architects

Over the last years Japanese architecture becomes more and more inspiring and gives the world the increasing amount of unique ultramodern design ideas. This outstanding house is another example of extraordinary Japanese architecture. It was created by ARTechnic architects and is located in the forest near Kitasaku, a district of Nagano. There are not too many of such intact places in Japan; the surrounding trees and the tree in the patio make you feel very calm and close to the nature. Unlike it is with other contemporary homes you won’t find too many sharp edges in the Shell Residence design. ARTechnic didn’t only design the exterior, but also created the special furniture collection to complement the general concept of the house.

The Gunderson house in Norway by WRB: Fantasy Fjord Home

Norway is known as Northern severe country but there are so many fascinating views there giving a look to which you will instantly remind of crispy blue fjords, rock formations and windswept trees. I want to attract your attention by a breathtaking house in Haugesund overlooking a stunning fjord. The Gunderson House is a project done by Widjedal Racki Bergerhoff Architects. The house offers beautiful views through big windows over the bay. An original house was situated on the southern part of the plot, with a cramped up sunny patio, without benefiting from the site scenic views and coastal location. The interior design of this residence is contemporary yet warm and welcoming. It combines various materials with bold and subdued colors, like the red and black kitchen and the light colored living room; the minimalist dining table and its colorful eclectic rug; the wooden ceiling, glass walls and stone fireplace. One of the most delightful features is the beautiful roof covered patio with its open fireplace and heated pool. Finding yourself in the Gunderson house you’ll be fascinated by a friendly atmosphere created by architects and designers.

The Blue Residence in Greece by Nikos Koukourakis

Blue is usually a cold and unwelcoming color, but this large luxury house in Dionisis, Attica is an exception. Its bluish illumination harmonizes with the night starry sky and gives a feeling of calmness and serenity. To some people it might remind of the ubiquitous Tron movie, but the house was built before the movie premiere. Large two-storey tall windows connect interior with the patio that has a large swimming pool and the entertainment area. The contemporary interior of this house slightly insinuates that it was created by a Greek designer. We especially favor the unusual staircase with stunning wooden handrail behind the glass wall that complements to the living room’s interior.
