Atypical residential structures and unique design projects according to ELLE

There are a huge number of unusual structures, houses, villas, hotel complexes and skyscrapers in the world. ELLE has assembled a gallery of houses that are not included in the list of the most luxurious residences in the world, but are definitely considered unique objects of design thought.

Coastlands House Villa by the ocean in California

The villa, surrounded by endless expanses of the sea, is designed for an elderly couple. Despite the fact that the house resembles the abode of fairy-tale dwarfs, it turns out to be very spacious. Located in the shade of perennial oaks on a slope near the Pacific Ocean, according to the architects’ idea, the residence was “embedded” into the hill and, as a result, organically merged with the natural landscape.

House Gallery in Brazil

A private residence in Brazil, despite the informality of the project, is the classic embodiment of a modern home. From the outside, the gallery house looks more like a country hotel complex, but this is just an appearance. The interior of the building creates an atmosphere of comfort and home, and the house itself will accommodate a large number of guests. The panorama of the mountains and green hills add a futuristic provincial exoticism to the villa.

Daniel’s Lane Private House in New York

The two-storey New York mansion Daniel’s Lane is a structure of unusual shape in the form of combined rectangular structures and an attic with a huge number of places to relax. Large windows around the perimeter are the hallmark of the residence.

Private residence in California

The old residence, built in the historic part of the city of Brentwood (California), experienced a new birth after the owners decided to change the exterior and expand the house. The original attic on the upper level, transparent walls and all the signs of the so-called functional minimalism allow us to consider the residence the standard of its genre.

The Wall House Residence in Singapore

The Wall House project is interesting because it is divided into two independent blocks. The reason for the division of the house was the small area of the plot and the desire to fill it with greenery. The border is marked with a small pond and a picturesque terrace. Six trees growing in the space of the enclosed terrace stretch from the granite floor up to the hole in the ceiling. The landscape of the house was created under the influence of the traditions of the classical Chinese garden.
