We have already reviewed a lot of projects of white house design, that always look fantastic and modern. This time we are going to describe an unusual house with original black exterior. Architects from Boetzkes | Helder presented a draft of VDVT House, modern home in the Netherlands. This residence is a prime example of that departure from accepted standards in architecture is not only possible but necessary. The shape of the house resembles a box with specially coated black aluminum facade that reflects sunlight and changes color. The inner design of the mansion is decorated in minimalist style with use of contrasting light colors.

BYTR Architects have renovated house in Utrecht, The Netherlands by adding an extra floor. The exterior of the new floor is clad in perforated aluminum panels that protect the building from prying eyes and provide privacy. An one more interesting feature of facade design is magic play of light: at night, the metal is lit from the back, while in the day, the perforations provide diffuse daylight into the interior. And could you imagine a modern house without outdoor place for rest? The designers have organized a cozy rooftop terrace where the owner plants herbs garden and enjoy the view of the canal.

Nakahouse is an abstract reconstruction of a 1960′s hillside home with overview of the Hollywood hills. The old house featured a series of interlinked terraces, and its base has been preserved. However, the interior spaces have been completely redesigned. Besides, additional terrace were added. One of them connects the kitchen and dining area with living room, a steel staircase leads from it to the roof, which is equipped with a place for rest. Exterior finishing is black while inner space is contrasting white. Bright upholstered furniture in the living room dilutes the white interior.

Wessels Joyce Associates has completed a project of a house they designed in Knysna, South Africa. The mansion consists of a few blocks and has a very open plan. You can see on photos all of exterior is glassed, that creates a feeling of lightness and provides magnificent views everywhere. The interior is designed in modern style, bright colors are dominated there, but dark accents like columns, fireplaces or textiles add some originality. I especially liked the bedroom with king-sized bed, coated with weightless fabric and located outdoor endless pool. Visit the Wessels Joyce Associates website here.
