Gone are the days of rectangular structures, as every dream home now has a mix of geometric shapes and unconventional styles like those seen in this list of geometric structures.
From jenga-inspired beach homes to geometric cut-out facades, architectural dream homes have changed the very definition of a dream home, often sporting sharply shaped hillside decks and origami-inspired designs.
There are now countless numbers of structures that take inspiration from geometric and abstract designs, like the ‘Bowen Mountain House,’ ‘Scapehouse’ by Andrew Simpson and many more. Architects are letting loose and getting exploitative when it comes to designing the perfect geometric structure.
