    The Wheatsheaf House by Jesse Judd

    I never thought that a house with red and orange in excess could appeal that much. Outside of Daylesford inVictoria, Australia, the Wheatsheaf House byJesse Judd draws inspiration from old plywood caravans and

    bus shelter. With simple lines and an amazing way of using steel, laminated glass and plywood cocoon, thehouse manages to blend really well with the striking natural scenery by adding to its beauty. Looks like a

    warm place in the heart of the woods if you ask me, and a great holiday retreat at the same time. Magical!Do you like it? [via DesireToInspire]

    Rooftecture in Japan

    Located in an old residential home in Shioya Tarumi-ku Kobe, Japan, the small home you see above is agreat example of what innovation can do. Designed Endo Shuhei Architectsthe house stands out from thecrowd thanks to its roof, which certainly is something you aint going to see every day. Facing the sea, thethin house was forced to use a triangular roof because of its site, with those steep slopes. And I must saythey managed to maximize space with a brilliant idea. Its like doing something out of what seems like

    nothing, and the Japanese seem to be doing good on that topic. - via

    The house has been under intensive remodeling by STUDIO Blueboat who had the mission to make theliving-room/dining-room larger and to move the kitchen into a specially designed zinc, steel and oakextension. Featuring a small courtyard garden at the front and a larger enclosed garden at the rear, the housemakes it easy for those that want to live close to nature.

    On the inside, everything looks perfect, lined up, with the right colors and large glasses to allow the sun raysinside. The best of them all, I think its the open-up living-room, with the large couch and the white walls.What do you like the most? Oh and I forgot. That house is for sale, for 325,000.

    Modern White Sea House

    No, the Japanese are not only good with Sushi and electronics. Apparently they also have great designersand architects or at least thats how I jump to conclusions after seeing thie modern white sea house. It was

    put up by Takao Shiotsuka Atelierin Japan and is a 237 sq m two-floors white buildng with a shape thatspreads gently towards the sea. Painted in white, with extremely large windows that allow sun-rays insideand a modern but minimalist interior, its a stunning piece of design. If I were to change something, thatwould be a little bit of contrast its too whitey, dont you think? How about some black and red shapes? -Source

    Located in Massachusetts, in Dukes County, Marthas Vineyard is an island off the US east coast famous forits harsh winters and tough local restrictions when it comes to building new home. At least thats whatarchitect Darren Petrucci had to deal with when he came up with the VH R-10 gHouse design. I thought itsa plane turned into a house when I first read how they named it, but trust me its a vacation guesthouse.

    Made for himself and his wife, Darren Petrucci managed to build a compact and spare house with lots ofpersonal touches, using modern materials and furniture. On the first floor theres a kitchen, a living area, anda master bedroom all featured withing lovely large windows with rain-screen panels (used for privacy).

    I will have to be honest and say that I never thought a barn could be turned into such a beautiful home. Ithappened in Belgium where architect Rita Huys from Buro2, got her hands on a an old barn in the rollinghills of Central West Flanders, kept its rustic touch but transformed it into a modern home with an elegantand luxurious living space, at the countryside.

    The exterior looks simple with an unique character that blends well with the scenery, while at the interiorwhere artist Wim Delvoye worked his magic, style is king. With large glasses that let the light get in easily,with modern furniture, well defined shapes and high quality materials, the verdict is clear. Thats the most

    beautiful barn Ive ever seen, and the one Id sleep in without thinking. - via Wallpaper

    Dupli.Casa in Germany, Modern as HellWhat are those things that make a house modern? Is it the furniture or the interior furnishings? Not always.Just take a look at the Dupli.Casa in Ludwigsburg, Germany, where architect Jrgen Mayer Hworked onthe footprint of a 1984 house to create this beautiful shaped spatial villa. I still cant decide what looks best.Is it the sophisticated large spaces interior or the stunning contrast at the exterior between the white wallsand the black windows? Or the fact that it avoids detailing using homogeneous transitions? Maybe all ofthem.

    The Hillclimber House in LA

    Up until now, I was dead sure houses cant climb, but the talented people from Kovac Architects made mereconsider my position. In the Pacific Pallisades of Los Angeles, they managed to design a house with acontour that climbs up the steep hillside. They named it (how else?) the Hillclimber House. Using lots ofstone accents and wood, they managed to create a refined minimalist but modern design with classic accents.Its a simple hierarchy of spaces is reflected in the forms and materials used. And did you expect to see abetween-walls pool knowing that this house climbs? - viaTrendir

    What got my attention? The modern architecture, the vast ceiling spaces and the huge outdoor sliding glassthat makes it look like a part of nature, plus the fact that it uses underfloor heating. Oh did I mention the 8

    person outdoor spa? Guess not.

    If these things arent enough for that money, then here comes the cavalry: a championship lawn tennis court,cinema, smart home technology, more than 1 acre of manicured grounds, reverse cycle air conditioning,split-faced travertine and lots of terraces and recreation spaces.

    Add some zing to your lighting and safety to your wires

    If you want to light up this Christmas then do it with the best and cleanest technology possible in the form ofLED lights. The little lights not only save on energy, but also are a lot brighter and far more jolly in theirmood than traditional ones. Also check your wiring before you put on the lights so that you avoid anydisasters. You can always either use them to accentuate the existing building or can chose to create new

    designs like sledges and Santa. Feel free to express yourself in a bright and glowing fashion.
