Curved Wall Architecture Framing Outstanding Views

We love the contemporary style of this cool, curved wall architecture designed by Portuguese architect Mario Martins. The home's signature rounded facade curves around a circular pool, hugging its every curve and defining the stylish outdoor entertaining area as an apt introduction to the modern indoors. Lining this arching exterior, a curving glass wall separates the outdoors from minimalist interiors, which are clean and simple - utterly modern. A palette of white plays wonderfully against the dramatic views, which as expected, and surely as intended, remain the foremost focal point of this home. Mario Martins

Compact Kitchen Design by Snaidero – Board

In the name of the growing trend toward open plan and adaptable living, Snaidero introduces Board, a modern kitchen with a smart, compact design. Designed by architect Pietro Arosio, this compact kitchen can be easily integrated into any space. As simple as the design may appear, it took some real creative effort to realize - they ended up with a sleek, simple solution to a potentially complex problem. The kitchen sits along one wall, with only one protruding module which holds the stovetop, work top and sink. The rest of the kitchen is neatly tucked away behind a smooth, uniform exterior, which doesn't disrupt the eye, but keeps everything readily accessible. It really is a wonderful solution for space efficient loft-like living. Board will be officially unveiled at this year's Milan Furniture Fair. Visit Snaidero for more information.

Amsterdam Skylight House Puts a New Twist on Tradition

This Amsterdam skylight house by Ooze simply "oozes" the innovative design and sleek style that these local Dutch architects are known for. Ooze was charged with renovating the kitchen, but their forward-thinking design quickly permeated the rest of the house. With a number of extensions over the past few decades, we think this latest addition/renovation finally has hit the mark when it comes to function and aesthetics. The architects' aim was to renew the "soul" of this old villa and bring new life by setting geometric wood-framed windows into the roof and walls, breaking up the boring while complementing the traditional-style structure, originally built in the 1920s and inspired by classic Netherlands architecture, namely Dutch farmhouse cottages. Indeed, these surprising glazed pieces add visual interest to the home's exterior as well as inside, where the triangular-shaped windows infuse interiors with natural light and frame the pastoral views in a most unusual way. A void at the heart of the home serves to flood interiors with natural light while acting as the social hub.
