Architecture Adoration

Something I love to look at but don't know much about is architecture.  I love to look at a home, assess what I like about it (or don't like, in some cases), and figure out why.  To like or dislike the way a place is built is such a personal viewpoint -- we all appreciate different things; this is why custom home building is such a luxury -- to be able to dream up a space and actually put that dream into action is an amazing gift.

I love that the living room opens up to the pool area, almost with a sliding or folding door of sorts.  This creates a beautiful view whether the door is open or closed.

This home is so unique.  It almost reminds me of a birdhouse -- do you see it, too?  That tiny balcony is simply sweet, and creates an easy way to communicate with the patio.

I love how two separate areas are connected in this home.  An easy and beautiful way to get from A to B -- especially in the rain or snow!  ;-)

I find this home to be almost Dutch-looking!  It reminds me of some of the homes that my Aunt has shown me around where she lives in the Netherlands.

Entire walls made up of windows -- something I am incredibly in awe of but wouldn't necessarily want.  This is definitely a modern home, and I love the look of the sharp angles and glass-house-esque appeal.

Another very modern home.  This time, a contrast -- nestled into the woods.

I love the layered look of this home exterior.  Upon entering, you will seemingly walk through many connecting hallways to get to your destination: the door.

Doesn't this home give the illusion that it is set upon a bridge?  I love that you have to travel upward in order to enter!

Do you have a favorite style of home?  Tell me what it is!

Which of these homes would you want to live in?
