MODERN HOUSE DESIGNS

When Turnbull Griffin Haesloop Architects took to creating this stunning timber wood Home in Glenbrook, Nevada, it was “wooded” bliss from the start. Located on the eastern edge of Lake Tahoe, this timber home is even surrounded by tall pine and fir trees. At the foot of a wooded hill rising in the background, the main house and guest house sit on a tree-sheltered courtyard, peacefully protected and private in its natural setting. This country home facade boasts log ... Continue >

A rustic home design idea by Bruns Architecture, this cool home in Baraboo, Wisconsin has a “forest feel” to it. Nestled on a 30-mile bluff surrounded by vegetation, this rustic yet refined home sits on a slope with its intersecting volumes radiating out from the central foyer. The elegant, understated architecture doesn’t dominate its natural forest surroundings, but blends rather beautifully thanks to its low profile, simple geometry and layers of wood, concrete and glass. On entering through the solid ... Continue >

Argentina’s BAK Architects created this rustic style concrete house plan deep in the forest or Mar Azul, Argentina. A sandy dune beach, dense wooded surroundings and a sloped lot created a challenging landscape on which to design and build a home, but these characteristics are also what distinguish this oddly beautiful location. This cool, contemporary concrete house is like a jagged rock, breaking its way through the rough terrain, with its many windows glowing by night. The obtusely angled walls ... Continue >

There isn’t a whole lot to this simple, wood cabin design. Surrounded by forest, this timber house’s facade is characterized by cross-sections of stacked logs. A row of window clerestory windows features top-hinged, horizontally swinging shades that flood interiors with natural light.

When Netherlands architecture firm Grosfeld van der Velde Architecten designed this striking forest home in Teteringen, near Breda, they took into account some important must-haves for the homeowners, namely an eco house design. The move toward sustainable architectural design sets the tone for this project among the trees; a wood clad house that is "green" in more ways than one. A square-shaped volume covered in black-stained wood and large expanses of glass leads you through the home's interior while maintaining ... Continue >

Johnsen Schmaling Architects are the designers behind the rustic Camouflage House, hidden in Green Lake, Wisconsin. This magnificent, modern lake cabin is perched on a steep hillside overlooking the lake, surrounded by trees in a veritable nature-lovers wonderland. This densely treed plateau has inspired the look of this natural house design; a rustic, low-profile silhouette with cedar and glass panels, framed to resemble the forest’s vertical lines and repetition. An understated, low-lying entrance gives way to a stunning, 2,700-sq.-ft. two-storey ... Continue >

Among the rolling hills of Northern Ireland in Kells, the 'Origami' country house by UK-based architect Jane D Burnside is an ultra-modern home with traditional ideals.
