Barely touching the ground: chic mansion on a steep slope

In La Jolla (California, USA), a stunning mansion is located on one of the picturesque slopes. The snow-white finish, the view of the ocean, which opens from almost all the windows, make you think about a calm and carefree life. Kafka House is a snow-white house in California overlooking the ocean.

The firm's team of architects Safdie Rabines Architects completed work on the construction of a beautiful snow-white mansion Kafka House in La Jolla. Located on a slope, the house seems to float, barely touching the ground. The entire layout of the dwelling is aimed at the opportunity to admire the ocean. Huge floor-to-ceiling glass openings for the most part are directed towards the endless blue. In addition, this arrangement of windows allows the owners not to worry about the prying eyes of passers-by.

The upper level houses the main living areas: a living room, a bedroom, a smithy with a dining room. The corner glass wall seems to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces, while sliding doors create the impression of an open terrace.

The kitchen is designed in such a way that the storage space is hidden from casual view. Therefore, the impression of a perfectly flat surface is created without any accessories. The overall light palette of the interior is very suitable for the Californian style in architecture.

And on the other side of the world, in Singapore, there is a no less original mansion with an ultra-dynamic facade. Its forms are reminiscent of the outlines of a modern ship, and the interior looks like cabins from a science fiction movie.
