This is a summer home located in Austria. It looks as if there was much detail in the plans for this home. The building seems to be made almost completely of white stone. There are stairs leading to different areas of the home that seem to be made out of concrete. The railings on them look like painted steel. There also look to be mirror panels on parts of the home. Judging from the picture, the house also looks to be located on the coast.

This is a futuristic more modern looking home,it goes off at different angles that form various shapes. As you approach the house you come up on a set of stairs the take you down to a lower deck with an inground hot tub. This unique looking house is built on the lake front. From the lake you would be able to see the gleaming windows reflecting in the sun and the bright white of the concrete as it shines during the day. There are many balconies with metal railings. The house is built around nature,there are trees and shrubbery growing in the middle of the deck and trees indoors. Overall this is one crazy awesome house.

This is a cool looking house. It has alot of glass on it . It is very open and naturally lit up by the sunlight, there not many lakehouses that are naturaly lit up like that. When you look at it you can see a hot tub built into the deck. when you look out that window you can see the deck is built around the tree.

It looks as if the designer was cross-eyed when drawing it. All the odd angles draw attention to the house instead of the envoirment. The problem with that is the house sticks out like a sore thumb in the place it is in. I would probably have no problem getting around there, since i could say “the bathroom is the first odd door next to the mangled-mirror-thingie”.

Wow! That is one of the oddest houses I’ve ever seen. To me the large rectangular window that is jutting out looks very cool. Apparently it is also a lake house, which I would think adds a lot of value. I like the how the tree in the courtyard looks. The house looks like it is made of concrete, glass, some type of metal, and wood(for the floors). Other than the windows, it looks like a bunker, a very nice bunker… I would love to live there during the summer!

This house looks pretty cool. I am pretty shure it took them awhile to get the house built. There are some cool ideas for the houses design. There is a bid slanted window from what i can tell from the photo. There is a good view of the water from inside the house. It looks like the steps strech over the water just a lil bit.

wow, this house is the epitome of different. This home stands out with its calm lake and its oddly shaped walls. Yeah that would be cool to have a house that resembled this one. Atleast you wouldn’t have to worry about someone copying you. From the looks of it they definetely weren’t going for the symetrical look either. This is probabaly one of the most modern houses I have seen in a while.

This house looks very futuristic. It is very silver. I like how the hot tub is built into the ground. Also, the random trees add a nice touch. The house is conviently located right next to water, to it would be a nice place to stay while on vacation.

This is a very modernized building. As soon as you walk up to the house you can look down and see a hot tub sunk down in the ground. When you look at the house you can see that it is very oddly shaped. The window kinda makes the house stick out and adds alot of detail. They have a pretty good sized lake behind them, which adds alot of value to the house. And certianly adds alot of enjoyment to the house if it was your summer home. They used alot of concerate, and alot of glass for the big windows. Also some steel for the hand rail that are along the walk way around the house. This certainly is a very modernized building and fits the twenty first century designs.

The mouse is one of a kind. The house designer was probably trying to stand out with this one. the house is open, as in sun light can reach almost every inch of the home. the view of the ocean makes it a great vacation spot. I like how ther is a tree in the courtyard, or on the deck. It’s the focal point of the courtyard, or deck. The balcony is a great touch. It gives the owner the option of waking up to the sound and sight of the ocean.
