MODERN HOUSE DESIGNS

Stone Home Design Showcases Contemporary Canadian Architecture

This lakeside residence north of the border in Vancouver, British Columbia is contemporary Canadian architecture at its best! This stunning stone home design respects its environment, complementing it with stunning exterior walls of basalt that mimics the majestic mountains. Architect Fook Weng Chan created this luxury home design in layers – from its forested front yard, to a grand gate of curved glass, evergreens and stone which welcomes you into a Zen-like courtyard complete with a pool, water feature and total serenity. Interiors are warm and welcoming, with wood and glass walls at every turn. An open concept architecture puts the living area on the main floor, loosely divided into smaller spaces by the striking Douglas Fir columns. The mountain peaks are framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, and a glacial-fed lake, edged with stone, stretches out at your feet. Overall, the home’s tone is that of understated luxury; it’s rustic, refined. Fook Weng Chan

Contemporary Villa Design - Norway villas reflect Nordic architecture

This contemporary villa design by Norway architect Todd Saunders of Saunders Architecture is futuristic, fashion-forward and functional, all in one fell swoop. The sleek contemporary villa in Hjellestad, Norway blends traditional Nordic architecture with an innovative edge in what has become a local landmark of modern architecture. The contemporary, white facade is sculptural and dotted with lots of windows which flood interiors with natural light. The structure takes shape in three main volumes, stacked asymmetrically to form architecturally interesting interiors and equally exceptional outdoor living areas designed to withstand the oft-harsh northern climate. Interiors reflect the same modernist sentiment of the exterior, with an open-concept main floor hosting the family room, three children's bedrooms and a play room, an amazing kitchen, the den and the master bedroom, all surrounded by an exterior terrace and stairway leading to the garden below.
