The foggy backdrop for this cantilevered house contrasts perfectly with its stone and wood frame. Hard and soft, sturdy and precarious, all captured in one image.

The beauty of exploring exteriors is that, from a distance, it is easier to imagine what your life might be like inside. This futuristic capsule home, for example, feels like the perfect space to fill with automated spinning beds, remote controlled curtains, and other Austin Powers-styled accoutrements.

Of course, there is always beauty in the simple, boxy style of modernism. From Huge windows to a narrow rectangular pool, this one’s all about the angles.

What better way to make sure everyone knows you have better taste than them than to elevate your entire house? This unique, stacked box design makes no mistake about who’s looking down on who.

Another cool, modern house with sweeping views but this one comes with two cozy outdoor sofas, perfect for lounging or, if you’re a celebrity, canoodling.

It’s hard to say whether the sleek straight lines or the clear desert sky is the real winner here.

It would be difficult to drag yourself inside after an afternoon beside this gorgeous pool.

While you may not want to five into this lily pond, it does make for a relaxing view from the deck.

Cabin in the woods means a lot of things to a lot of people. This is less “hunting lodge” and more “luxury retreat.”

Visualizer: Vic Nguyen

Expansive decks. Massive windows. Incredible views. And it’s huge. What else is there to say.

Visualizer: Numa

Finally, we have a two story house on a lake with windows that swing open to really give you a taste of nature.
