Daniel’s Lane, Long Island, New York, USA
Design: Blaze Makoid Architecture

photo : Marc Bryan-Brown
The residence Blaze Makoid Architecture created for a father with three children in Sagaponack on the Eastern Shore of Long Island was inspired by the iconic architect Norman Jaffe’s Perlbinder House(1970) and Tod Williams’ Tarlo House (1979) but with his firm’s signature of designing residences that have a quiet elegance that are uniquely suited to each client. As in all of Makoid’s work, there is a cohesiveness that unites the architecture with its interiors and the site.

Downley House, England, UK
Design: Birds Portchmouth Russum Architects

photo : Nick Kane
This large private house is a tour de force in a technicolour architectural style that derives from that of architect James Stirling, from whose practice these architects emerged. This means that it is an assemblage of strong primary forms, mostly cylinders and cubes.

Design: AR Design Studio

photo : Martin Gardner

De Wet 34, Cape Town, South Africa
Design: SAOTA

photo : Adam Letch
The site is positioned in the heart of Bantry Bay in Cape Town, on the slopes of Lion’s Head overlooking the bay. The brief was to create a home with all the spectacle of an Atlantic Seaboard showpiece but also to respond to the practical needs of family life and to create a feeling of sanctuary.

EVRC House, Zapopan, Mexico
Architects: TaAG Arquitectura

image : Redo Arquitectura
The project design by TaAG Arquitectura is solved in a basic shape: a cube of three levels that sits with a half-buried level in the land, in which some orthogonal “parts” were removed to configure the interior space, getting very interesting floated prisms.

Contemporary Houses Designs Around the World

Major Contemporary Houses added to this page:

Farnsworth House, Iliinois, USA
Design: Mies van der Rohe Architect
Farnsworth House
This residence is a classic example of 20th century modern architecture.

Dupli.Casa, Germany

picture : David Franck Photographie
The geometry of the building is based on the footprint of the house that previously was located on the site. Originally built in 1984 and with many extensions and modifications since then, the new building echoes the ‘family archaeology’ by duplication and rotation.

Desert Beach House, Peru

image from architect practice
Recent design of a contemporary beach house located in the desert coast of Peru. This modern house is organized into three levels: the first level contains all service areas, garage and guest rooms; the second level comprises the house principal rooms; and the third one is intended to be the social areas: kitchen, living-room, dining-room, terrace and swimming pool.

Devoto House, Argentina

photograph : Alejandro Peral
The lot of 18 x 24 meters between two existing buildings that threatens the project when the problem of isolation and view. For this reason this project is leaning towards its neighbor, creating an introspective posture that creates the views from the inside rather than from the outside.
