Having a huge house is something that only few can afford and wants, but this waterfront house design from famous Canadian architect Keith Baker may change your view.

You can see the waterfront house design in a house at Victoria, British Columbia. The 5,299-sq.-ft house that is made of steel, stone, glass, and wood occupied the huge area that could have been boring without this brilliant design.

You won’t really think that you can actually extend your living areas outside your house, but this design makes that possible. In addition, the design is perfectly added making this house one of a kind.

Aside from its glass walls the house is also surrounded with glass windows that add lighting’s to its interior. The windows will let sunlight pass during day time, and will make outside  lights visible during night time. These tiny windows will also give you the pleasure of witnessing nature even if you’re inside your house.

This house design is also perfect if you love to hang out on a terrace with a glass of wine, or simply hang out with your family or friends. The terrace will give you farther vision of your sorroundings. You can take a good look of the trees for that eye-relaxing feeling.

Waterfront house design is everything that you will need for a house. It’s a combination of modern materials  like glass, stone, wood. The design uses cherry wood for that additional warmth and natural feel. The exposed wood material also gives a distinctive cottage-chic style in every room.

The bottom line is, this house is something that you can love from the inside to the outside design. It’s a perfection that is achieved from the combination of different materials and concept in one design.

September 9th, 2011

If you’re looking for a house design that will perfectly fit into an island dwelling, this cabin house design from the Norwegian architect Tommie Wilhelmsenn is perfect for you.

I consider this an extraordinay cabin design that is perfect when your area is above the see or overlooking the see. The cabin that is made of timber will give you a light aura. It’s more on the lighter side and coolness because it’s mainly made of wood.

The interior design of the house is designed to give you access to the outside view with its glass walls. This is perfect when you appreciate watching the sun shine. Of course who else would not appreciate such therapeutic sight.

The greatness of this cabin design does not stop there. It has a dark-stained sunken wood deck that sorrounds the house. It will work as a perfect outdoor hangout for your family and friends. You can talk about everything under the sun while enjoying the salty breeze from the see.

An artistic outdoor walkway sorrounds the cabin and leads to the roof of the house. The facade of the house is enhanced with a honey-colored wood that serves as its clothing for that additional environmental and organic look.

While the wood materials dominate the exterior of the house, the interior is streghthened by concrete walls. The walls give the house a modern touch and a cool edge. Of course there’s always the warmth of the wooden floor and ceiling. These are two contradicting materials that are perfectly combined in this cool house cabin design.

The folding glass doors make its sun-lit interior possible. A setting that will take you to another place as the light of the sun penetrates the inner portion of the house. The light of the sun will add warmth and color to this already brilliant design.
