Watervilla | By +31architects

Watervilla is a spectacular minimalist residence located on the river Amstel in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Designed by +31ARCHITECTS, the modern villa was commissioned by clients that wanted a residence in which the relationship between the living area and water would be maximized. The top floor composed by the living room and kitchen features a large glass facade with sliding doors that open to a floating terrace that is moored along the entire length of the villa, inviting guests to take a refreshing dive into the river. A floating staircase takes you downstairs where the bedrooms and bathrooms are located.

Brooklyn-based graphic designer Scott Reinhard combines contemporary land elevations with vintage historic maps to create beautiful three-dimensional environments of a specific region, city, or state. Each design consists of a decades-old topographic layer and a computer generated elevation, complete with shadows. We are loving the attention to detail that has gone into each and every one, and the end result is an image that looks like it is popping off the page. Yo...
