The box like architecture of these modern homes places heavy emphasis on straight man-made lines, which contrasts hugely with the organic lines of the natural surroundings. Foliage and flowers soften the look a little, cradling each building with a bed of greenery, but still they appear almost as viewing stations over the beauty, or a futuristic dwelling that floats several feet above a strange alien landscape.

Other structures are in a more obvious empathy with their surroundings, not particularly in shape, but with obvious signs of green energy usage such as solar panels and wind turbines to provide power to the house with minimal detriment to the Earth.
