The modern geometric home, designed by Santa Monica, located in Los Angeles, California. The modern geometric home is composed of a collection of daring folds, sharp angles and various volumes connected on the 10,000-sq.-ft. property. This contemporary design based Tighe Architecture incorporates a number of buildings, which are structured around a private central courtyard that invites the outdoors into these modern living spaces. From the outside, this cool house is characterized by its unique folded roof and walls. Windows, seemingly scattered about the facade, were strategically placed to frame the fabulous views. Inside this two-storey home, the details are simple, and simply impeccable. A soaring focal wall features cut-outs that echo the home’s windows, with a skylight at the top as its crowning glory. The finishes are minimal yet luxury, like the rich wood floors, and the gorgeous kitchen featuring warm woods and cool stone tiles, enclosed in a wall of windows with a pool-side walkout. A guest house and pool house are mirror images of one another. The modern geometric home [via] luxury home

House of inclusion designed by FORM/Kouichi Kimura Architects, located in Shiga, Japan.Here’s some text from the architect: This house, located in a new residential area, is for a 30-something couple. Surrounded by other houses, the design goal was set up to block out the outside world while avoiding too much closure, as well as to provide rich and sensuous spaces.First, a small patio and a path connected to it were laid out between the living or dining room and exterior. They are surrounded by a wall that blocks off the line of sight from outside. Planting and pond are laid out at the patio, so that the picturesque images of green and water are viewed from the rooms. Enclosed by walls that create indirect light filling softly the entire room, the house presents sentimental scenes here and there. The living spaces and the life lived there are enveloped by green and light, creating an affectionate environment.Architects: FORM/Kouichi Kimura Architects Location: Shiga, Japan Client: Private Construction Year: 2009 Site Area: 215,35m2 Constructed Area: 151,71m2 Photographs: Takumi Otmore information about the inclusion of house [via] best house design.
