The Extraordinary Villa San Valentino by Stephan Unger

Just breathtaking Villa San Valentino by Stephan Unger is located in Merano-Alto Adige, Italy. This family residence should provide a comfort living for the cohabitation of 3 generations with common spaces. First of all, the house impresses us with its unusual shape, the original facade and panoramic glazing on each side. All in this dwelling combine modern design and traditional craft and materials. The chosen materials are typical for the place: marble of Lasa, porphyr, granite, wood of the larch and the oak. The larch-wood shingle façade is representing the traditional craft of the Alps-region Upper Adige. San Valentino offers a magical views of the mountains and valleys.

Luxury Jade Mountain Resort in St. Lucia

Rising majestically above the 600 acre beach front resort of Anse Chastanet, Jade Mountain Resort is the piece of paradise where you can have unforgettable vacation. This place was built in harmony with Caribbean nature. The stark design of the multi-level building perched high on a hillside makes it seem futuristic, while at the same time its stone and wood exterior gives it a Stone Age look. Each room has its own infinity pool; this is the zest of the resort. They are called "sanctuaries" and are divided into "star", "moon", "sun" and "galaxy" pools, according to their size. It has all amenities of a high end resort: the spa, the pool, and the attentive staff to bring you the drink with the umbrella in it while you are lounging in the hammock. Enjoy!

Somosaguas House in the Madrid outskirts

Somosaguas House is one more large beautiful house designed by architects from A-Cero, who have been represented in our blog with their stunning masterpieces many times. As in many other homes of this company, we can see a modern, minimalist design with a facade, made of concrete and natural stone; crisp lines and volumetric construction, which seems rather heavy and massive. Clean lines and solid construction seem rather heavy and massive. The residence provides high connection with its surrounding nature, especially with water. The house stands on a small lake, but that is not all - one of the unique features of the building is a stunning large pool, which is located on the roof.

Modern Villa in Thailand by Supermachine Studio

This modern, designed by the architects from Supermachine Studio around 600 km to the east of Bangkok in Thailand, was named Ubon House. Customers of the project were the young married couple, whose head would have the house in which he could not only live but work. On the first floor it was decided to create a small living island, where the friendly family will spend more time together. All programs are contracted in rectangle shape surrounded by water. On the second floor there are bedrooms and study, from which the owner can dive directly into the 20 meter long swimming pool to get rid of stress. The exterior of the villa can be called more than modern, but everything here was done to provide close contact with nature and its surrounding landscape.
