Modern Beach Houses

Guy Peterson

While we mostly do traditional work in our office, I definitely have a soft spot for modern architecture.  Residential Architect Magazine recently published some beautiful award winning beach homes.  Here are my favorite.  This Sarasota beach house is by Guy Peterson of the Office For Architecture.  This home follows in Sarasota's rich  tradition of modern beach houses from masters like Paul Rudolf.

Olson Kundig Architects regularly produce some of the most spectacular modern residential architecture of our day.  Their homes are always closely and beautifully linked with the surrounding landscape.  In the case of this house, it is a promontory on the coast of Hawaii.  What's not to love about that!

 I'm not really sure where this house designed by Bates Masi + Architects is located, but it looks like New England.

This home by DesignARC is in Ventura California.  It feels very California to me...in a good way. What a sunset!

This smallish beach house on Long Island is by Fred Stelle.  Great pool...great kitchen.
