If the greatest trick of the devil is to convince the world that he does not exist, then perhaps the cleverest trick of the architect is to make a building disappear.

This small house by Satoshi Kurosaki is a masterclass on how to maximise light and openness in a hemmed-in urban plot.
Anzac Bay House by Vaughn McQuarrie Architects
If cleanliness is next to godliness then simplicity must be the favourite companion of the design gods.

Villa Kogelhof by Paul de Ruiter Architects
If your idea of sustainable living conjures up images of ramshackle farmhouses with free roaming pigs and disproportionately large wind turbines you should take a look at this futuristic villa designed by Paul de Ruiter Architects.
W.I.N.D. House by UNStudio
The Netherlands is famous for its flowers and also for its great design, so it is perhaps appropriate that Amsterdam-based UNStudio would design a house in the province of North Holland that somewhat resembles a flower.
Private House IV by De Bever Architects
Dutch houses are renowned for their large windows which maximise sunlight in their often deep and narrow interiors and which also reflects the Dutch people's spirit of openness and transparency.
