Charming Creekside Cabin with Rustic-Refined Aesthetic

Meditation House Plans: "Floating" Glass Home

Architect David Jameson was inspired by a tea house idea when he developed this subtle yet stunning meditation house plan. Consisting of a volume suspended within a frame, Japanese architecture inspired this glass and steel home as a space for meditation, relaxation and reflection. In contrast to its floor-to-ceiling glazed walls, a solid wood door welcomes you in, complementing the natural woody surroundings while providing a sure separation between indoors and out, raw and refined, wild and sophisticated. Illuminated only ... Continue >

The Wright House, designed by Elmo Swart Architects, really stands apart for its innovative yet earthy style. The modern extension to a traditional thatched-roof house in Durban, South Africa echoes the existing home’s shape with a curved roof and walls, and ushers you into the outdoors without ever leaving the comfort of home.
