Japanese Lakeside House

This unusual property in Japan uses five interlocking levels to create multiple viewing platforms both inside and outside the property. Designed by architecture studio Sugawaradaisuke, this unique lakeside house is something truly refreshing and modern  imbued with a sense of freedom. The timber retreat features clever details such as a countertop that flows from the kitchen into the living room floor, and floors that double as furniture. There is also an unclear notion of where one room ends and another begins. There are also plenty of stairs from one platform to the next, lending the house a disjointed flow that somehow still works.

S.K.I. House

The S.K.I. House in Wanaka, New Zealand, designed by Roberts Gray Architects, is a stunning example of modern minimalism rooted in natural beauty. Created for the architect’s parents, the home’s name humorously stands for "spending kids’ inheritance," yet every detail reflects investment in timeless design. From the street, the residence appears as a quiet composition of solid geometric forms and dark screens, but once inside, it opens into sunlit co...
