Circular House Design in Maryland – the Contemporary Potomac by McInturff Architects

The extraordinary Potomac House designed by McInturff Architects will have you spinning in circles. Built in an infill neighborhood near the banks of Maryland Potomac River, this modern design pays tribute to traditional homes in its street face, but the really amazing things happen behind the scenes. A rear view of the home reveals a contemporary circular shape that works its way into the surrounding landscape. Enclosed in windows and encircled in terraces, the home’s three storeys overlook a large wooded property accessed by a bridge over water. Inside, the house is about as cool and contemporary as they come. From top to bottom, finishes are light and features are meticulously thought out, creating a picture of perfection, bathed in sunlight via the home’s expansive windows. The piece de resistance is overhead – a spectacular circular skylight that from which the rest of the design seems to radiate. McInturff Architects.

Modern Bird-Inspired House Takes Flight in Southern California

The New York Times reported on a unique house design with the grace of a bird and the innovation of a modern mind. Forward-thinking architect Tom Kundig, of Seattle-based firm Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen, brings a beautiful sense of motion to this awesome residential design, set in the Southern California landscape with a view of the ocean. An aerial perspective of this home reveals a bird-like silhouette, with the upswept wings of the roof inclined for flight, and a 100-ft. long passage leading to the front door concealed beneath the bird’s tail – the home’s roof. Kundig wanted the home to resemble “a small building that landed lightly on the landscape,” according to The Times. Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen
