House With Swimming Pool That Will Blow You Away

House with swimming pool by Wiel Arets Architects (WAA)

Every modern home has one interesting feature, part of it which defines the house or property, attracts attention or sends some message. Even if you haven't noticed this before, you will if you take a closer look. And today I will show you the house with swimming pool that cannot be unnoticed.


Jellyfish House, as it is called (that is one awesome name for the house, don't you think?) is pretty amazing piece of modern architecture, designed by Wiel Arets Architects (WAA) in Urbanización los Monteros, Marbella, Málaga, Spain. You will spot the "defining part" in this house very easily. It is this impressive (now watch this) cantilever swimming pool on the roof, with transparent bottom and glass wall. How many times did you seen house with swimming pool like this?


Another thing that defines this house is exposed concrete, just like black concrete does in this modern home and this residence. Only this time it is white, but not less attractive and definitely not less modern. As you can imagine, interiors are open and very bright. And that glass swimming pool wall helps a lot in reflecting daylight and creating unique modern atmosphere with its blue color. All in all, very interesting, unique and impressive place. It is not "the house with swimming pool" you used to see. Innovative approach created beautiful piece of modern architecture and that's why architect got huge thumbs up from world of architecture.

Kew House With Two Faces, Melbourne

Wooden facade on Kew House by Vibe Design Group

Vibe Design Group designed Kew Residence, a house with two faces, located in Melbourne, Australia. Unusual and unique shape is just another plus of this beautiful modern home.


Three key elements defined this home. First, terrain. Slightly hilly terrain created opportunity to have floating home with space below the house used as protected car space or anything that owners thing is appropriate and useful. This creates double satisfaction because your floating home looks great and you can park your car under your house. Sounds awesome, right?


Second, street facade. As architects stated, street facade is inspired by the 60s and 70s stereo cabinets. Simple, closed and contemporary wooden facade stands out perfectly from surrounding green vegetation while being fulfilled with glass wall at the entrance located on top of the hill. And third, rear elevation or backyard facade. Made out of thin glass walls and connecting interiors with beautiful terrace and swimming pool.
