Inspiring Modern Home Architecture

If you’re in the market for a new property and don’t know exactly how your dream home should look like (we can hardly believe it), then we’d like a word with you. Check out this amazing list of contemporary homes and let yourself charmed by these amazing structures. Created by some of the most talented designers out there with lavish accents that get the eyes, exquisite furnishings, glossy interiors and modern materials, we’d love to spend a few months each year in any of them. They’re nothing short of breathtaking … Right?

Velichko Velikov’s Elaxa Chair

Arguably one of the cooler chairs I’ve seen recently, Velichko Velikov’s Elaxa Chair is a fluid furniture piece that’s an amazing contemporary take on the classic Thonet bentwood chair designs. Developed simply from bentwood and metallic joints, seat and base, the Elaxa Chair took the rules developed by classic Prague and Tivoli chairs and really mixed things up with layers of bentwood and the use of that amazing reflective metal. Equally interestingly, the version of the Elaxa Chair developed from acrylic is a smart alternative that takes on a flair all its own for a completely different interior mood. Despite their modern appearance, the bentwood Elaxa Chairs could equally be a fantastic counterpart to a heavy, bold dining arrangement or a bright and approachable kitchenette.

Modern Jodlowa House in Krakow, Poland

Designed by the creative British architects from PCKO together with Polish folks from MOFO Architects, the stunning Jodlowa House in Krakow, Poland, definitely kicks off as a whole. With large ground to wall windows, a sprawling living room, a ravishing indoor pool and 2 main bedrooms – all are designed in the most elegant way possible. Stone walls in the living room for class, a garden and trees to surround it for a “green” feeling, and a very spicy price attached, the glass house certainly makes you feel like living amongst nature in style. But what about privacy?

Thomas Coward’s Dune Basin

Developed by Thomas Coward, the Principal Designer of Australian bathroom products manufacturer Omvivo, the Dune Basin is clearly inspired by the swelling and falling forms of the desert landscape. To be officially released this upcoming July, the Dune Basin is an organic take on modernist basin design: sleek and deliberately asymmetrical. What I find interesting about the Dune Basin’s design is that, unlike many of Omvivo’s other Basin designs, the Dune is not weighed down with strong angular accents or slabs of weighty material in the traditional modernist sense. Although the images focus more intentionally on a clean, simple modern bathroom design to complement the sink, it may be interesting to see the Dune Basin in a hip, charming bathroom that did not focus so much on a stream-lined motif. The Dune Basin certainly doesn’t discount this as a possibility.

Dang Residence by Pb Elemental Architecture

Designed by Pb Elemental Architecture, this organic wooden residence (actually the Dang Residence) is a super savvy structure in Greenwood, Seattle, that “shines” thanks to its stylish furnishings, unique interiors filled with modern art and its very own private courtyard to spend time in. Spread over 3200 sq feet, this two storied house comes with two large balconies, a spacious dining room (with a chic dining set) and a colorful living area that mixes red, green, black and brown for an artistic effect that looks nothing short of cool.
