Modern Homes from Around the World
I have long been drawn to the statement-making architecture of modern homes. February marks modern homes month at Sotheby’s International Realty®, which means the time has come to focus on clean lines and open layouts. Birthed from the International Style of architecture that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, modern homes typically display long stretches of glass, a connection between in-and-outdoor spaces, shallow-pitched or flat roofs, and a sparing use of ornamentation. Below, I have curated a collection of extraordinary modern homes from around the Sotheby’s International Realty network, from the east coast to the west, Croatia and Dubai.
East Hampton, New York
Sotheby’s International Realty – East Hampton Brokerage
Situated upon 1.03 pristine acres in East Hampton’s Northwest, this modern home evokes the spirit of living in a treehouse, looking out over a private reserve from a wall of over-sized windows. The 4,500 square feet of living space includes four ensuite bedrooms, two additional full baths, and a fabulous open plan with high ceilings and lots of glass, bringing in the beauty of the changing seasons. The cladding is simple yet effective, juxtaposing nicely against the manicured hedges and natural landscape.
Murter, Šibenik-Knin, Croatia
Croatia Sotheby’s International Realty
This modern and luxurious villa with a swimming pool was designed by respected architectural firm, Dva arhitekta. It is located on the island of Murter and with its creative design and ambience, the villa blends perfectly with the authentic, stone-paved streets, the small and simple houses, and stone walls covered with vines and climbing plants. The entire main floor affords views of the lush longitudal garden, which transforms the space into an idyllic place for relaxation.
