Contemporary ocean front homeWe absolutely loved this home in Mexico.It ticks all the boxes. Not only is it in a staggering location - right over the water,but the designers have really maximised this feature by including the cantilevered jetty with views of the water below. Even the lap pool seems to have a connection with the sea beyond. Floor to ceiling glass is used to again maximise the views - even the shower has a sea views !!We also loved the furnishings -driftwood seems apt in this setting !And although contemporary and in an uncompromising setting it has a warmth due to the materials used .All in all an exhilarating home to spend time in.

Daeyang Gallery and House: Steven Holl Architects
The project was designed as an experiment parallel to a research studio on “the architectonics of music.” The idea of space as silent until activated by light is realized in the cutting of 55 skylight strips in the roofs of the three pavilions. In each of the pavilions, 5 strips of clear glass allow the sunlight to turn and bend around the inner spaces, animating them according to the time of day and season.
Views from within the pavilions are framed by the reflecting pool, which is bracketed by gardens that run perpendicular to the skylight strips. In the base of the reflecting pool, strips of glass lenses bring dappled light to the white plaster walls and white granite floor of the gallery below.
