A major trend in modern houses in the minimalist designer look of the interior and exterior living spaces. The large homes are often elegantly decorated with large windows and doors, creating natural illumination within, with sunlight pouring into the home and perfectly warming up the inside throughout the day. 

Modern homes focus on functionality and practicality of a house as a space for a family, guests and foot traffic and with the use of neutral tones and materials, a home such as this will be classic and tasteful for many years to come. The fantastic team at Skandella Architecture has ensured that they met the brief and design specifications of the owners perfectly, making this home a design classic.

Modern exterior

The contemporary design and modern exterior of this home is minimalist and fabulous in every possible way, making the classic and neutral tone and colour of the residence a perfect fit for the neighbourhood and landscape. The home has been inspired by Bauhaus and sees two cubes creating a double storey feature that is sculptured and almost carved out of stone. 

The incorporation of the garage at ground level creates a unique space to house the cars within the home with adequate driveway space and street parking for all guests and visitors. This home has modern design and comfort in mind throughout its classic style and architecture.
