House with stunning views in Cape Town, South Africa

Need to keep something safe, but want to leave it on display? Just like a museum artifact, but on a much much larger scale, this boxy, two-story, glass-and-metal house contains an aged relic, preserving (while using) uncovered remnants from the elements.

This country house is designed by architect Anna Belyaevskaya and located in a suburb of St. Petersburg, Russia. It has an unusual form and consists of two equal volumes which are dislodged vertically and horizontally.

Scholar’s Library was designed by architect Peter Gluck and is located in the Catskill Mountains, northwest of New York, USA. This unusual building accommodates over 10 000 books belonging to the architect and his wife, a scholar of Japanese history.

Here is a charming three room apartment with great views over Gothenburg, Sweden. Measuring 94 square meters, this place features large, open interiors and inspiring decors.

The famously cerebral architects David Mitchell & Julia Stout were once given the extremely novel commission of designing “a room to think in”. As David Mitchell puts it, “We’d never been asked for one of those before.”

You can't often find a home like this. To have a swimming pool in the middle of the apartment is a dream come true for many of us. Take a look on how it was achieved in a small town in Italy.

Located in Northeast Oregon, this small house is conceived as a contemporary glass box that floats atop the surrounding wheat fields.

In recent times there has been a trend of building houses in which interior is well balanced with the exterior.
