These wood-accented abodes aim to reinvent an age-old material. A bold and innovative take on traditional building techniques, these distinctively designed homes dare to push design boundaries.
Using wood materiality to provide structure as well as to enhance aesthetics, these awe-inspiring homes aim to provoke and challenge traditional design ideals. These dynamically detailed homes are memorable and magnificent, featuring complex geometries, visual linearity and sharp, irregular shapes.
From boxy timber abodes to twisted timber structures, these architectural pieces are taking the residential architecture world by storm. Replacing traditional homes with conceptual masterpieces, these stunning structures keep both sustainability and bold aesthetics in mind, making them every designer’s dream.
