Last updated on June 5, 2026 · ⓘ How we make our designs

These summer houses are made for the kind of days you want to stretch a little longer. Check it out!

Our modern luxury summer house collection brings together clean architecture, generous outdoor spaces, and interiors that feel calm without being too precious. Think wide terraces, shaded lounges, glass walls, soft textures, and pools placed exactly where you would hope they are.

The inspiration comes from easy coastal living, boutique resort comfort, and that lovely feeling of walking barefoot from the kitchen to the garden. Each design keeps things elegant, but still relaxed enough for sandy towels, long lunches, and someone definitely forgetting their sunglasses indoors.

Cliff Meadow Concrete Shell

Tall glass walls give this house a clean, open feel while keeping the water view close from almost every room. The slim black frames, pale concrete edges, and warm wood ceilings balance each other nicely, so it feels polished without getting too precious about itself.

The pool and stepping stones pull the outdoor spaces right up to the house, making the terrace feel like part of the living room. Native grasses and rough stone paths soften the sharp modern lines, because even a very sleek home needs a little “barefoot weekend” energy.

Beachfront Bronze Screen House

This coastal home leans into big glass walls, slim black framing, and warm timber ceilings that soften all those crisp modern lines. The perforated privacy screens add a lovely patterned layer, giving shade and a bit of mystery without making the house feel closed off.

The pool and timber deck stretch right toward the beach, so the outdoor spaces feel like part of the living room, just with better sunscreen requirements. Clean white volumes, planted edges, and those floating overhangs keep everything calm, polished, and easy to enjoy.

Mountain Slate Cantilever

The house stretches out toward the mountains with wide roof overhangs, warm wood soffits, and big sheets of glass that make the view feel like part of the living room. Its shape is crisp and modern, but the stone base and layered terraces keep it grounded, like it has been politely sitting on the hillside for years.

The design takes its cues from alpine lodges, just cleaned up a lot and given better shoes. Glass railings keep the deck open, the planted stone paths soften the edges, and that tall central window gives the interior a little sparkle without getting too fancy about it.

Pine Canopy Zinc House

This house settles into the pines with a calm, modern confidence, using broad glass walls, slim dark frames, and soft gray panels to keep the form clean without feeling cold. The warm wood under the roofline and around the entry gives the whole place a softer edge, because even a very polished home needs to look like it can handle muddy boots.

The garden is designed as part of the architecture, not just something sprinkled around at the end. Stepping stones, gravel, ferns, boulders, and the low reflecting pond create a quiet arrival that slows you down before you reach the front door, which is exactly the kind of trick a good house should know.

Suburban Marble Ribbon

This house leans into glass in a big way, with tall panels wrapping the living spaces and pulling the trees right into the everyday view. The slim dark framing keeps everything crisp, while the stone chimney and warm ceiling overhang add just enough softness so it does not feel like a fancy fish tank.

The garden was designed as part of the experience, not just something pretty out front. Large stepping slabs, low hedges, and soft grasses guide you toward the patio, where the house opens up and feels calm, polished, and a tiny bit smug about how good it looks.

Island White Concrete Retreat

A warm timber roof wraps over crisp glass walls, giving this modern home a calm resort feel without trying too hard. The pale stone chimney adds a grounded touch, like the house still wanted one classic detail in the mix.

The courtyard is designed as part of the living space, with wide openings, low lounge seating, and a reflecting pond tucked among boulders and palms. It feels polished but relaxed, the kind of place where shoes become optional pretty quickly.

Tropical Travertine Villa

Floor to ceiling glass wraps this home in the garden, pulling the palms, water, and sky right into the living spaces. The dark roofline keeps the profile crisp, while the warm vertical timber panels soften all that sleekness so it never feels too serious.

The stepping stone path over the shallow pool gives the entry a calm, almost vacation mood, which is always a nice trick for a Tuesday. Inside, tall ceilings and delicate hanging fixtures add a bit of sparkle, balanced by stone walls, soft seating, and greenery tucked in all the right places.

Riverbend Blackwood House

The house sits low and calm beside the water, with broad flat roofs that stretch out like a good sun hat. Dark vertical cladding, pale stone walls, and warm wood ceilings give it a crisp modern look without feeling too precious.

Large corner windows pull the pine views right into the rooms, so every lounge chair gets a pretty decent seat. The wide deck, planted edges, and wandering stone path make the whole place feel connected to the shoreline, which is exactly where a home like this should be.

Lakeside Limestone Frame

This house leans into its lakeside setting with wide glass walls, slim dark frames, and deep roof overhangs that make the whole place feel calm but still very sharp. The warm wood ceilings under the eaves soften the modern lines, because nobody wants a house that feels like a fancy airport lounge.

The stone columns and low garden walls anchor the design beside the water, while the terraces step out gently toward the dock and pond edge. It feels designed for slow mornings, long dinners, and that very specific joy of pretending you are just “checking the view” for twenty minutes.

Cliffside Basalt Gallery

This coastal home leans into big views with floor to ceiling glass, crisp concrete bands, and warm timber tucked under the overhangs. The dark stone wall gives the whole place a grounded edge, like it knows the ocean can get a little moody sometimes.

The glass balconies keep the upper levels open without blocking the scenery, while the courtyard pond and rock garden soften all those sharp modern lines. It feels polished but not precious, the kind of house where morning coffee probably comes with a ridiculous view and zero complaints.

Dune Line Pavilion

This coastal home leans into the view with tall glass walls and slim black framing that make the ocean feel close, even from deep inside the rooms. The crisp white volumes and warm wood cladding keep the design fresh without making it feel too precious, because beach houses should still be okay with sandy feet.

The raised timber deck and simple boardwalk create an easy path through the dunes, softening the modern lines with a relaxed, barefoot kind of mood. Stone edging, beach grass, and sheltered outdoor seating help the house settle into the landscape instead of barging in like it owns the shoreline.

Alpine Glass Terrace

The dark standing seam roof wraps the upper edges like a crisp frame, while warm vertical timber keeps the house from feeling too buttoned up. Big panes of glass pull the snowy peaks and tall pines right into the rooms, so yes, the view may interrupt breakfast.

Stone terraces and layered planting make the slope feel settled instead of forced, with steps that move naturally through the garden. The concrete base, glass railing, and timber soffits give each level a clear purpose, creating a mountain retreat that feels refined but not precious.

Stone Veil Forest Residence

The house is wrapped in tall glass walls that pull the forest right into the living spaces, with slim black frames keeping everything crisp and calm. Stone cladding and warm timber soffits balance the sleek edges, so it feels polished without acting too fancy about it.

The garden is part of the design, not just decoration, with stepping stones, mossy planting, boulders, and a quiet pond guiding you toward the entrance. Inside, the glowing suspended chandelier adds a soft sparkle through the glass, like the house decided to wear a little jewelry for dinner.

Tidal White Pavilion

This coastal home is shaped around the view, with wide glass walls opening the main rooms toward the ocean and pool terrace. The deep roof overhangs and warm timber soffits soften the clean white lines, so it feels polished but not too precious.

The design takes its cues from the beach itself, sandy stone tones, dune grasses, shells, and that easy indoor outdoor way of living. We tucked in details like slim black window frames, vertical wall panels, and a simple fire feature so the whole place feels calm, sharp, and ready for someone to spill a little lemonade by the pool.

Alpine Plane Villa

The house leans into its mountain setting with tall glass walls, slim black framing, and clean stone surfaces that keep the whole place feeling sharp but not cold. Those big panes are not just for the view, though yes, the mountains are clearly showing off a bit.

Outside, the pool and planted garden soften the modern lines, giving the home a calm resort feel without making it too polished. The overhangs, warm wood ceiling, and open terrace make the indoor spaces spill naturally outdoors, which is exactly where everyone will end up with coffee anyway.

Cedar Horizon House

Broad glass walls pull the forest right into the living spaces, while the deep flat rooflines give the house a calm, sheltered feel. The warm wood soffits soften the crisp black framing, so it feels refined without acting too precious about it.

The garden path, stone edges, and quiet water feature make the approach feel like a small retreat before you even reach the door. Tall volumes, clean lines, and layered terraces give the home presence, but the surrounding pines keep it nicely grounded.

Glassline Meadow Estate

A crisp glass facade gives this home that wide open, almost resort like feeling, with slim dark frames keeping everything clean and calm. The tall stone chimney and soft cream walls add warmth, so the house doesn’t feel too perfect or chilly, because nobody wants to live inside a fancy aquarium.

The overhanging roof and deep patio edges make the outdoor spaces feel tucked in, while the reflecting pool pulls the whole garden closer to the house. Large sliding doors let the living areas spill outside easily, which is exactly the point here, a modern home that feels polished but still easy to actually live in.
