Located on a one-acre waterside plot, within a gated private estate in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this incredible residence was truly designed for a wealthy VIP.

With supreme design, a gorgeous interior, and every amenity you could ever want, the home is beautiful and luxurious in equal measure.

Designed by renowned architect Max Strang, the mansion boasts two floors and a jaw-dropping cantilever. The home's long, narrow form makes the most of the plot, providing almost all of the interior rooms with unobstructed views across the New River.

Inside, you’ll find 9,995 square feet of space. There's a stylish lounge, a huge contemporary kitchen, a dining room, and a home office. Other highlights include the home's movie theater, bar, fitness center, swimming pool, and pickleball court.

As for interior design, every single room is pristine, decked out with the finest materials and furnishings. European white oak wood floors, crisp white walls, and steel frame windows add to the home's high-end finish.

There are six bedrooms and nine bathrooms in total. The primary suite is truly spectacular, with its own private balcony, sitting room, office, walk-in closet, and spa-like ensuite. There's even a separate apartment suite for guests or staff.

The mansion was for sale with Compass in February 2025, for a little under $50 million. We can't imagine a more enticing opportunity.

Aptly named, Rock 'n' House is one of the most unusual properties we've ever come across. Located on a tranquil 14-acre plot in Saugerties, New York, the contemporary residence was constructed around a huge, prehistoric boulder from the Catskill Mountains.

The remarkable home was designed by owner and architect Christian Wassmann, who took inspiration for the property from the rock itself. Amazingly, the boulder has been balanced here, on the highest point of the clearing, since the last Ice Age. It is thought to be 12,000 years old.

The Wassmanns wanted to live in harmony with nature and the result is what Christian describes as "an observatory to live in." Curving around the boulder, the shape of the house is inspired by the course of the sun or "Polaris." The walls are formed mostly from glass to frame unobstructed views.

The conical roof is clad in photovoltaic shingles that collect energy from the sun, while the house itself was built from sustainably harvested mass timber beams, columns, and CLT (cross-laminated timber) panels. The interior walls were plastered in highly breathable natural clay, while raw bluestone bedrock is exposed in the sunken living room, allowing the lucky occupant to reach out and touch it.

Inside, the main level boasts an open-concept living area, dining for 10 people, and a stylish timber kitchen. Two bedrooms on this level share connected bathrooms and the second floor is home to a luxurious primary suite, with a spacious closet, two workstations, and an ensuite bathroom.

Thanks to the curving glass wall in the main living area, the room enjoys amazing views of the boulder, ensuring it remains front of mind at all times.

Highly eco-friendly, the property benefits from a well-insulated envelope, triple glazing, and exterior shading curtains that limit solar gains in summer, while maximizing passive solar gains in winter. Two geothermal boreholes, connected to a heat pump, generate all of the home’s heating and cooling, and an energy recovery ventilator provides fresh air all year round.

Epitomizing luxury living in Los Angeles, California, this remarkable new home was designed by South African architectural studio SAOTA and developed by David Maman.

Located in Bel-Air, the house finds itself perched high on a steep, triangular site, with striking canyon views extending from Century City to the Pacific Ocean.

The home's robust and angular design was inspired by the geometry and orientation of the plot itself. The top floor is wrapped in vertical screens of white aluminum, while a monolithic concrete base anchors the property to the ground. 

Of course, the interior is every bit as mesmerizing as the façade and was curated by Belgian interior designer, Dieter Vander Velpen.

The home's extensive glass walls certainly take center stage, drawing the eyes outside to the view, but the contemporary furnishings, dramatic light fixtures, and simple palette of stone, timber, and bronze create a luxurious finish.

The master bedroom is perhaps the finest room in the house, thanks to its sliding glass doors, which connect it to a private balcony with jaw-dropping scenery.

The home also benefits from plenty of amazing extras, including a circular bathtub, which was carved from a single piece of marble, and a stunning infinity pool that allows for city views while you do your laps.

Inside, the home unfolds over four floors. There’s 8,801 square feet of interior space and highlights include this open-plan living area, with its soaring ceiling, timber accents, walls of glass, and statement fireplace.

The property benefits from six bedrooms and nine bathrooms in total. The master is like an apartment in its own right and has a bathroom, a home office, and a walk-in closet.

There's also a rejuvenating spa with an indoor waterfall, a freestanding elevator with a glass ceiling, and a four-car garage. It's no wonder this exquisite home was for sale in February 2025, via LIV Sotheby's International Realty, for just shy of $40 million.

This incredible home in Ancram, New York, is almost too surreal to be true. Built from a combination of shou sugi ban wood, concrete, and glass, Sleeve House was designed by architect Adam Dayem of actual / office in 2017 and, thanks to its unusual aesthetic, the construction phase took several years to complete.

Positioned on a 46-acre sloping plot with dramatic views of the Catskills Mountains, the house was built to slot into its surroundings. The idea was to create two elongated volumes – one nested inside the other like a Russian doll – sitting on a cast-in-place concrete base. It takes inspiration from agricultural buildings in the region.

Charred Accoya wood wraps the house like a skin. As well as looking amazing, this wooden sleeve acts as a waterproof, insect-proof, and fire-retardant cover, ensuring the exterior will stand the test of time. The wood is also resistant to rot and decay.

Inside, the 2,500-square-foot home is split into two distinct spaces. In the larger area, you'll find a living room, dining zone, kitchen, and bathroom.

In the second interior space, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. All of the rooms are sleek and contemporary, finished with exposed concrete and charred wood accents, as well as dramatic windows, soaring ceilings, and statement fixtures.

While formally and aesthetically innovative, the house was also designed to be liveable and practical. The kitchen contains everything necessary for cooking and entertaining, yet it also blends perfectly with other finishes in the house.

As well as being ultra-modern and durable, the property is also eco-friendly, with triple-glazed windows, a solar system, battery back-up, and a heat recovery ventilation system that keeps the interior cool in summer and warm in winter.

Known as Entelechy II, this iconic modernist home epitomizes contemporary architecture, despite the fact it was constructed in 1986.

Designed by famed architect John Portman, the home is nestled along the illustrious coastline of Sea Island in Georgia, USA.

While the front of the house is defined by lush foliage and a dramatic staircase, the rear boasts an overhanging, cantilevered roof, tree-like columns, and a cool, sweeping slide.

The home’s expansive use of glass not only provides amazing views for those inside but blurs the line between inside and out, inviting the Atlantic Ocean into every room.

Standing proud at 12,586 square feet, the interior is both grand and open, with towering ceilings and abundant natural light.

The partially open entrance foyer is perhaps the finest space in the house, with its indoor water feature and lattice skylight.

There’s a stunning lounge, a formal dining room, a kitchen, a music room, seven bedrooms, and eight bathrooms. Every single room is bright and unique, with circular roof windows, rotund walls, and custom furnishings.

Listed in February 2025 with Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty for $40 million, this exemplary home helped to define the future of modern architecture.
