Modern homes have always caught the eyes thanks to their unconventional lines and the variable, yet captivating design reflecting a life style, rebel and undisciplined. At the same time, they are also appealing through their transparency and openness to the surrounding environment in a perfect symbiosis of natural and artificial.\u00a0 Here is a close look at some house plans with glass terrace permeating the home with amazing views.<\/p>\n
The first example is a modern house in Cyprus, basically embedded into the slope of a hill, giving it a vantage position over the landscape. The house is built on three levels, the first being dedicated to family and day activities, while the other two house bedrooms, three of them on the first floor and the master on the third, all three boasting panoramic views of the landscape opening up under the house. A 2 car garage lies on top of the building, wrapped in vertical shade lovers. Half submerged into the slope, the structure takes advantage of Mother Nature\u2019s thermal qualities, reducing the need for air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter.<\/p>\n
