It consists of two concrete structures joined by an exterior steel bridge and courtyard. A stunning floor-to-ceiling concrete fireplace stands in living room...

Also made with concrete, steel, and lots of glass this home adds water as a design element... both in view and feature. The ground-level water mirror on the western side is designed with an infinite horizon... making it seem to run into the sea. pn4 architecture pn1 architecture, contemporary architecture, ultra modern house, modern architecture, modern interior design , modern sea house

ON THE EDGE

McQueen + Mobius: M2

Edge House by Mobius Architects edge house , modern architecture, ultra modern house, contemporary architecture

Mobius Architects took a hillside and made a mountain of a home. Restrained by building codes that do not allow roofs to have less than a 30degree slope the architects had to think outside of the box without disobeying authority. The house will be located near Cracow Poland and built on an hollowed out section in a limestone bluff.

The challenge of the roof pitch gave way to the overall design. My favorite part of their solution is the extended white terrace and sloping windows. Awesome. Another architectural feat is to credited to the late Alexander Mcqueen. His last season of daring heels push the edge of fashion and gravity.
