75.9 House by Omer Arbel
Concrete as a construction material has somewhat of an image problem, forever associated with brutalist highrises and dull utilitarian buildings. In the hands of artist and designer Omer Arbel, however, concrete has taken on a fresh, almost poetic expression.
Maxon Studio by Olson Kundig
Suspension House by Fougeron Architecture
Architecture aficionados will be well familiar with Fallingwater, the iconic modernist house perched on a rock face with cantilevered floors overlooking a waterfall. Tucked away in an idyllic corner of California is a more contemporary house but with a setting and design every bit as breathtaking as the Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece.
Casa 15 by AM-Arqstudio
At first sight, Casa 15, designed by Porto-based AM-Arqstudio, appears to be an unremarkable modern villa with sleek, minimalist lines and rectangular volumes. Closer inspection reveals a wealth of design details which elevate the senses.

Skypool Villa by Shinichi Ogawa & Associates

Federal House by Edition Office
Black has been regarded as the colour of choice for style-makers and design aficionados alike but few architects have dared to design an entirely black home. As this rather cool house shows, they have nothing to fear and a lot of serenity to gain.
Crestwood Residence by Ancerl Studio
Maximising light is a common objective for many new-build homes, but few have succeeded as brilliantly as this super sleek house in Ontario, Canada designed by Toronto-based Ancerl Studio.
