This classic modern house is just the kind of home design that i like. The house looks very exotic to us. The UK-based architectural studio MOOARC had transformed 15th Century barn on the Island of Guernsey into a high-end, luxurious modern home. This house was later named La Concha House. It’s a smart design, the architect remodeled the old structure and combine it with recycled building materials at this private residence.

TEXAS TOWER HOUSE

 When I think of Texas nowhere in that thought is green grass, water or large trees. Talk about a skewed perception of the state. Fortunately that has been renewed by this house in Austin built by Andersson Wise Architects. Ultimately it seems more like a lookout tower which only makes it cooler.

Chantry’s Barn

A modern barn! We have, in fact, featured a modern barn here before, but this one is different in style. This barn is much more rustic on the exterior, and was at one time part of a larger estate. The property is hidden in the swathes of stunning Gloucestershire countryside just outside the village of Guiting Power.

Second floor volume overlap the entrance on the ground floor what forms a sheltered leeward. Layering of contrasting materials forms a geometric game of linear elements accentuating the entrance. A garage stands out on the other side of the house while copying the angle of the parcel.
