Griffin Enright Architects created this amazing 6,000-sq.-ft. unique architectural project for Point Dume Residence in Malibu, California. The luxurious house was designed as a modern showcase for the [stunning surrounding scenery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-sur). They created continuous and interlocking spatial experiences which fuse the inside with the outdoors.

Amazing windows and [floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-ridge) replace wallpaper and allow nature to fully flow into the house.

“The occupant then becomes immersed in a continuous volume of spectacular views that focus attention both internally towards the architecture itself and externally towards the Pacific Ocean in the distance," the architects say.

Trendy [concrete floors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norton-house) blend in with rounded curves of the walls. It’s ultra-modern, ultra-fab and the ultimate house of dreams.
