Curves in Metal and Glass on Lake Tahoe
The black-outlined volumes of this Lake Tahoe house by Mark Dziewulski Architect seem to have been pinched and stretched into their curving forms, creating convex and concave glass-enveloped spaces that put the focus on the water.
Seacliff House by Chris Elliott
Looking like an organic shape that could have come from the ocean itself, the Seacliff House by Chris Elliott is a single-family home in Sydney, Australia built on a long and narrow sliver of land along the coast. Those little curves you see in the walls have an unusual purpose: they provide lookout points where otherwise there would be none, directing views to the water or pulling in light from the sky.
House with 100 Windows
Over 100 windows give this coastal house in California an expansive view of the water. Architect Steven Kent is known for designing modernist homes that feel more personalized and less cold and hard thanks to a mix of materials and eclectic stacking of rectilinear shapes.
Modern Mediterranean Stunner
The Mediterranean Pearl by Carlos Gilardi overlooks the Bay of Altea, rising from a stone base like a modern sculpture and built in a series of flat planes that create multi-level outdoor terraces as well as an infinity pool.
