This minimalist home interior architecture by Spanish firm A-cero is a dramatic blend of modern and minimalist, black and white, simple and sophisticated. On entry, the open concept home presents the living and dining area, opening onto the kitchen with a bathroom off to the side. Sculptural features abound at every turn, like the gently rounded doorways, unusual ceiling features and the modern staircase with a futuristic “sci-fi” feel. The contemporary style interior features lighting built into the ceilings and walls to highlight these subtle yet striking architectural features. The linear kitchen is a clean, crisp space with stainless steel appliances and a bold, black cooking and prep area that stands out in a sea of glossy white cabinets, countertops and floors. In fact, all throughout this modern architectural design, the prevailing white backdrop is the perfect venue to display ultra-modern futuristic elements, both those built-in and furnished. Less truly is more when it comes to minimalist living. A-cero

Here’s a fab example of modern green roof architecture, Singapore style! Designed by Guz Architects, this green house sits on the island of Sentosa adjacent to Singapore, enjoying stunning city views on the horizon, and sweet serenity right in its own backyard. The architects placed a wall on each side of the home, providing privacy from the neighboring properties. All that’s left to enjoy are the breathtaking views, whether it’s from the outdoor living rooms and terraces, the indoor-outdoor areas, the roof top loft, or the water features. A central staircase takes you up a central light-filled stairwell and leads to the piece de resistance – the loft design idea with walkout to the second-storey garden, while itself featuring its own rooftop garden, creating the intimate feeling of single-storey living on every level. Now, that’s thinking outside the box. Guz Architects

It’s hard to tell where the best views are seen from the contemporary Veldt/Carr Apartment in San Francisco, California. Designed by Architect Craig Steely, this awesome renovation of a high-rise corner loft offers the best of all worlds. Outside, an outdoor terrace borders the living area, presenting panoramic vistas of the San Francisco skyline and the Bay. Inside, the architect presents a whole new, modern view to behold. Incorporated into the design is a floor-to-ceiling ambient light installation, offsetting the natural views with futuristic flair. “The light wall runs nearly the length of the apartment, offering a view into a world that evokes the contemplative mood of ambient music as much as the recollection of distant memories,” according to the architect.

A winding maze of sculptural granite and glass, this modern zen house by Spanish architects A-cero makes a unique statement within its lush surroundings. Located in Pozuelo de Alarcon in Madrid, Spain, this futuristic home design features a facade of curved walls of stone dark granite and marble travertine, providing privacy as well as a dramatic welcome. A water feature flows from outside to the entry, creating a seamless transition to the interior environment. The house is situated on a slope, inclined toward a lake, allowing for an upper and a lower terrace for outdoor living and entertaining. Inside, the house is divided into upper and lower levels. An upstairs hall, lined with skylights, leads to the essence of luxury living – a spacious kitchen, wine vault, dining room, lounge and library; and continues deeper into the home’s private living spaces – the master bedroom, dressing area, bathroom, an indoor swimming pool and a gym. A set of stairs leads you downstairs to the lower level, where you’ll find the games room, home theater, kids’ and guests bedrooms, and a service area. Every room features glass walls, tinted for privacy and aesthetic interest. Adding to the home’s futuristic appeal, this high-tech zen design is computerized, putting computerized lighting, safety, blinds and air conditioning controls at the owners’ fingertips.
