Modern Minimalist Beach House at Star House by AGi Architects

It is difficult to meet demands for rich people when it’s about building a house. Sometimes architects have to deal with bad taste of clients and dictatorial attitude. This bold house is called Star House in Bnaider, Kuwait and it’s designed by AGi Architects. It’s modern home design indeed but it’s really bold and cold I must say. Although the stairs are made from wood we can’t sense the welcoming atmosphere at this waterfront house plans. The pool that faces the ocean is definitely great but it’s only because of the vista. On the lower level, the house extends into the landscape and the sea.

AGi Architects made this beach house plans in correlation with the coastline of Kuwait. It’s a nice approach but unluckily it’s too edgy. This is perhaps the most architectural beach house design which others might say that it’s great but not to us. The initial design was originally made for three detached dwellings and the client opted for a single modern house design, two bungalows and a boathouse to make it possible for further expansion in the future. Still it’s a good place for a minimalist resort house.

It’s a challenge to create simplicity yet in another way it is also luxurious, but in the end the famous architecture company has done it in exquisite manner. The house design was in simple form of square like other modern minimalist home, but what makes it simple and luxurious is the use of 30 years old Japanese maple into the house that will melt your heart away like cheese.

Although at the front facade the modern home looks defensive, you will totally be amazed how it’s so different from the inside. The interior completely opens up where inside you will find internal courtyard with a lap pool and a line a bamboo on a full stretch to the north boundary. The interior finishes are very warm and natural and this is being emphasized with the use of timber floor which is made from French smoked Oak wide board in a lime finish which clearly shown the depth texture and pattern.

The luxurious residence is fully armed with all modern appliances and technology where the architect intentionally highlighted the technology in reflective metal finishes in polished chrome and glass to create a stark contrast between nature and man. This is also an energy conscious house although high tech appliances are used in this house. Windows have Thermal break frames and are double glazed sealed to keep the heat lost and the floor is well insulated underneath with reflective corrugated insulation paper.
