Living in a home isn’t just about the walls and floor you sleep on. A house is more than just a place where you can relax and unwind, it’s also where you spend most of your time. Therefore, it makes sense that the exterior design of your abode plays a significant role in how appealing it is. If you’ve noticed, most houses are identical.
Sure, we all appreciate some personal touches here and there, but when it comes to exterior design, most people would agree that there aren’t many differences between one home and the next.
Fortunately, some have decided to break away from the pack by building homes with interesting designs instead of plain ones.
Hidden Paradise House
Living in a tropical paradise might be the ultimate goal for many people, and it’s no wonder many dreams of moving there. Unfortunately, it’s not realistic for many, and those who do manage to get there will quickly discover that paradise isn’t always a good thing. Luckily, some people have figured out how to make the most of a tropical climate.
Dutch architects Camiel and Annelies van der Pol has designed a house that looks as if it’s been transplanted from a paradise island to a tranquil rural area. The house has been built in the middle of a lush green field, and it’s made of naturally weathered wooden planks.
The architects wanted to create a feeling of discovering a hidden paradise, so they placed the house’s roofless interior at the back of the house. This way, when people walk into the house, they’re greeted by the sight of a tropical garden in the distance.
Fernery House
Houses aren’t just designed to accommodate a person and their belongings; they’re also supposed to enhance the beauty of their surroundings. Luckily, many homeowners are more than ready and willing to help their communities by making exterior design part of their abode’s purpose.
Dutch architects Inka and Edwin Stijns have designed this house with a specific purpose in mind: the home is meant to transform into a fernery during the spring and summer months, providing floral decoration for an entire neighbourhood.
The architecture of the house is designed to be flexible enough that it can be easily reconfigured to function as a fernery. All it takes is a few cranes and a little bit of time. During the winter, however, the home functions as a cosy retreat.
Swiss Villa
Villa or not, the word “Swiss” is enough to bring about a host of expectations when it comes to a building’s exterior design. There are, however, those who have decided to shake things up by building a house that is anything but traditional.
Italian architect Stefano Giavanna has built this Swiss-style house, and he has done an admirable job of it. The house is a bunch of boxes connected with curved aluminium beams. It’s a rather unconventional design that looks like it could belong to the world of architecture-inspired fiction.
The house functions as a family home, but it’s also rather beautiful as a piece of public architecture. It’s located in the small town of Cremona, Italy, and it’s meant to help bring tourists and locals together.
Barnhouse House
Even in a world filled with modern architecture, it’s nice to occasionally remind ourselves that there are still architects out there who are willing to break the rules. Dutch architect Joris van den Broeck is one of those, and his latest creation is a beautiful example of just how unconventional a house can be. The house is a bunch of barns that have been strung together and connected with a bridge.
The architects wanted to create a house that would resemble an artistic composition, and they did so by connecting the barns with a bridge. The resulting house provides a fascinating view of the landscape. The house is located in a small town in the Netherlands called Steenokkerzeel, and it’s meant to serve as a public artwork. It’s located in a beautiful wooded area, and it’s meant to help bring people together by providing a unique view of the landscape.
Tree House For Two People
Forget about finding a perfect spot in the middle of a forest and building a house there. The reality is that many people will never find a spot that’s completely free of trees and other obstructions. The best you can do is to find the perfect spot nearby, trim a few trees, and build a home that functions as a tree house.
In this day and age, it’s not hard to find tree-trimming services that are willing to help you make your dream of building a home on stilts a reality. The people behind this particular tree house are a young Dutch couple who simply want to share their passion for building with others.
The husband designed the entire structure, while the wife constructed it. The tree house is a pair of curved wooden stilts connected by a rope. It’s accessible via a small wooden walkway, and it functions as a private retreat for the two owners.
Boat House
If you’re a person who appreciates the beauty of boats and the water, you might appreciate the idea of living near a lake or the sea. Unfortunately, most people don’t have the opportunity to live near them, and those who do have to deal with all the problems that come with living near water.
Luckily, Dutch architect Bart van Leeuwen has found a solution to this problem. He has built a house that looks like it’s been placed on a boat floating on water. The house is built on pilings and floats, giving it the appearance of lying on the water’s surface.
The architecture of the house is meant to inspire people and provide them with solitude. The house is located on a small island in the Netherlands, and it functions as a public artwork that can be visited by tourists.
Beachfront Home
If you’re someone who appreciates the beauty of nature and the sea, you might want to consider building a home that resembles a boat. This particular home is situated at a beach in the Dutch town of Scheveningen, and it’s a boat on stilts.
The architects have created a boat that is stylish, modern, and functional. The boat is one of the most expensive homes in the Netherlands. It costs about $3.5 million, and that’s because it’s made of expensive materials and is designed to be a showpiece. The boat is a sleek, modern home with a retractable roof. It’s a rather interesting architectural concept that has some people wondering how it was built.
The Palace Of Versailles Home
Many believe that homes should be more than just a place where you sleep, eat, and spend time with your family. They believe that homes should be aspirational, and they want to live in a home that inspires them to be better people.
The Dutch architect Hendrick van only reinforces this idea with his latest creation. He has modelled his home after a replica of the Palace of Versailles, and it is arguably the most luxurious home in the world. The architect has designed his home as a replica of a 16th-century French chateau, and he has built it on the outskirts of Amsterdam to make it accessible for tourists. The architecture of the home is meant to be as accurate as possible, even down to the tiny details that make it distinctive from other chateaux.
