MODERN HOUSE DESIGNS

Modern Portuguese Architecture ... will change the way you see the world

Described by folks at SousaSantos, a modern Portuguese architecture firm, as a “vision device”, the contemporary Y House is designed to change the way you see the world – literally. “The big curved window is this statement vortex,” explains the architect of this unusual house plan. “It creates a visual path that, like a camera traveling, reveals the image of the landscape.” The minimalist white facade features expansive windows throughout, allowing for a view of the outdoors from every point in the house. Functionally, this modern architecture features a Y-shaped floor plan with a distinct division of living, leisure and working areas, which branch off of the main living wing. At the end of each wing of this innovative house plan, a stunning picture window offers a snapshot of nature. SousaSantos Architects
