Cloud House, UK, by Peter Morris<\/a><\/p>\n

Architect Peter Morris<\/a> wanted to give his \u201clove of postmodernism<\/a> a chance to reveal itself fully\u201d with this pair of residences in north London, one inhabited by himself and his wife and another by a neighbour with similar tastes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe key goal was to make a beautiful building which I hoped might create a little moment of joy for anyone walking past it on the street,\u201d Morris told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

Wardrobe House, Czech Republic, by S\u030ce\u0301pka Architekti<\/a><\/p>\n

As its name suggests, this house was intended to resemble a wooden wardrobe. Like a piece of flat-pack furniture, it was prefabricated as a kit of parts and assembled on-site.<\/p>\n

\u0160\u00e9pka Architekti<\/a> designed the house for a couple who wanted to provide two of their teenage children with independent living space, and it sits in the garden of the main family home.<\/p>\n

Bellavista 11, Spain, by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos<\/a><\/p>\n

This luxurious villa steps down a hillside on the eastern coast of Ibiza<\/a> in three low-slung volumes.<\/p>\n

Designed by Valencian studio Fran Silvestre Arquitectos<\/a>, it is unmistakably minimalist<\/a>, made up of pared-back white concrete rectangles.<\/p>\n

House on a Slope, Switzerland, by Think Architecture<\/a><\/p>\n

An underground corridor (pictured left) connects the two parts of this house overlooking Lake Zurich, designed by Swiss studio Think Architecture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The architects had been tasked with fitting a very large amount of floorspace onto a narrow, sloping site while being as sensitive as possible to the landscape.<\/p>\n

Deyne Avenue extension, UK, by Loader Monteith<\/a><\/p>\n

A two-bed bungalow in Prestwich has been transformed into a four-bedroom family home with only a modest expansion of its footprint by Scottish architecture practice Loader Monteith<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In what the studio described as \u201csqueezing a quart into a pint pot\u201d, a rear extension and dormer loft conversion were added, along with a reorganisation of the floor plan.<\/p>\n
