Riverhouse Niagra is a single-family home designed by Zerafa Architecture Studio in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

The extensive use of Western Red Cedar for decking, wall cladding and soffit cladding was integral to our design, and the inherent flexibility, cost effectiveness and durability of cedar made it the obvious choice for this project, in this location. The relative material richness of the design called for the varied tonality and texture that cedar provides.

I stole this from Kanye’s blog but who doesn’t? Lol. Welcome to the Plastic Moon House featuring swimming pool with glass bottoms and stairs with fish in them. There wasn’t anything but pictures on the post so that’s all you’re gonna get so enjoy.

Wouldn’t you just love to live in this house? It’s so beautiful.

The Lot 18 House by Arkitek Axis is a conceptual U- Shaped plan that’s interlocked with the central landscape and swimming pool area. It has three stories with a living room, dining room and dry kitchen area interlocking around the  pool area on ground floor level, which accented by long perimeter of full height large glazing, timber deck terrace and suspended concrete platform, forms a permeable and remarkable views towards out to the external pool landscape area. The dining has sliding doors that opens up to the central pool area and form an axis. The first level has three bedrooms with a family hall at the central to open up to the balcony and overlook down to the landscape pool area where the infinity pool with roof top garden is located on the second floor level. The right side of the house forms landscape water feature which is visible from the large glazing of staircase area. The parking spot is hidden in the back of the house. The Lot 18 House was built last month.

Pure sexiness. The white’s a little overwhelming though; like If you moved in you would be decapitated by the architects for adding color.

The ALX office (Architect Label Xain) creates architecture that speaks for itself. There is no symbolism, no hidden meaning no process that you have to go through to connect with their works. The whole concept is understood with a glance. A pure example of this interpretation is the Sorte project. A four-story residence with a lower ground level, which was completed on June ’08 in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.

I actually never saw this house a day in my life, but isn’t it great?! In the comfortable warm weather of the land down under, this house just seems to…fit. Thanks McBride Charles Ryan design team…

Peep it again and again, I don’t think they’ll mind the envy…
