Cartoonishly Stacked Houses

Michael Kovac Designs an Eye-Catching Home in Santa Monica

— October 23, 2015 — Art & Design
One of the latest architectural designs by Michael Kovac is eye-catching for a number of reasons. First of all, it jumps right out at a viewer thanks to its cartoonish angles and stacked design. It looks as though it's made out of four separate components when in reality Michael Kovac created a single cohesive space.

Located in Santa Monica, California, Michael Kovac's house is a luxury home that carries a nautical and tropical aesthetic from the outside to the inside and back outside again. Although the interior of the home is impressive, the fact that it comes with a fully-loaded cabana in the backyard makes it a must-see property. Residents will feel as though they are on a constant vacation in this house, especially in sunny Cali.
