Amazing Home With Impressive Green Roof, Singapore

Amazing home with impressive green roof, Singapore

It's not very often that I stumble upon an amazing home like this one. But when I do, I make sure you see it too. Today's piece of modern architecture I found is this interesting home designed by Guz Architects in Santosa Island in Singapore.


Santosa is very popular island resort with over 2 kilometre long beach, golf courses and many other beautiful parks. As you can imagine (or remember if you ever went there) island is full of greenery, vegetation and gardens. Imagine what regulations and rules one house needs to fulfill in order to get permission to be built there. But, instead of choosing the easy way, Guz Architects accepted the challenge and turned this into the opportunity to build one amazing home.


Sky Garden House offers 852 square meters of amazing living space. It is designed to fully blend with gorgeous nature around it. Definitely the most noticeable and most impressive feature on this amazing house is green roof. This is something you don't see very day. I believe I've posted only one house similar to this one and if I remember right, that was the Wall House, located in Singapore as well. Singapore really kicks ass when it comes to amazing modern homes. I strongly recommend to check them out here.

Going back to impressive Sky Garden House, I would also love to mention those brilliant curved stairs. You've probably seen this photo many times on the internet. Now you can see the rest of this house. Besides awesome stairs there is also very cool swimming pool glass wall facing the house and creating very unique atmosphere. All in all, very impressive and amazing home. What do you think?

Elegant Modern House in West Vancouver, Canada

Still inspired by yesterday's perfect romantic home, I stumbled upon this elegant modern house located in West Vancouver, Canada's British Columbia. Burkehill Residence, as it's called, is designed by Craig Chevalier and Raven Inside Interior Design studio who designed those gorgeous contemporary interiors.


Before you enter, you will be welcomed by the tall glass wall with beautiful modern wooden entrance doors. And stone facade fits there perfectly. This house is good candidate for the next "Modern entrance design ideas" post. Upon entering into this architectural masterpiece, you will notice those beautiful wooden stairs with glass bender. Very modern and very elegant. And I specially liked those tiny little lights on the floor, lighting up the wall.


Next thing you will probably notice is wide open dining room with the bay view which is just another plus for modern home like this. Love the chairs. Kitchen offers dark contemporary furniture and lovely large kitchen island with minimalist bar chairs. A few green plants fit there perfectly. If you're still not satisfied with this house, check out the living room. Stone fireplace surrounded with glass walls and gorgeous bay views? Oh yes. Want more? Take a look at the home office. I noticed one thing there, very smart thing that I simply adore. Notice how easily you can work on office table and your computer? This solution is award winning!

Bedroom view offers bay as well, fulfilled with green trees spreading across the hills. And there's is of course modern terrace with outdoor fireplace and cliff-edge swimming pool. How much is this house worth? Let me help you a little bit, it is recently sold for $7.3 million. Worth the money? I say it is. What do you think?
