House On The Fli... From the side, this fanciful single-family residence resembles both a nest and a bird in flight. A red wall with large window cutouts, as well as covered courtyards on the ground level buffer the home from frequent wind and showers. A rooftop patio provides panoramic views and a nook inside the windowed “V” shape provides a great place to read. The geometric home is surrounded by farmland on St. Michael’s Island.

Glass House--Ber... On the outside, this glass home designed by Pott Architects has an unconventional, futuristic-looking sloping shape. Beyond the sunken entrance, the interior is designed to be flexible and evolve as the owner’s family grows. Open space easily becomes more intimate with walls and sliding doors. The main floor includes contemporary cooking, dining and lounging areas and a cylindrical freestanding floor-to-ceiling fireplace. A few steps up, the master bedroom is in a realm all its own; the children’s quarters are on a separate upper level.

Jigsaw Residence... A series of puzzle pieces that “interlock in a very unique way,” architect David Jameson’s award-winning, complex, yet column-free “Jigsaw Residence” is designed around a central courtyard that allows light to pulse into the home from every direction without compromising privacy. “When you are inside the house, sometimes you feel like you are outside, and when you are outside you feel like you are inside,” says Jameson. Ribbons of glass and wall -- stucco on the outside, plaster on the interior -- and varying ceiling heights and clerestory windows help define the bright and airy spaces.

Color Cubes--Sar... Taking its cues from nature, this modern manse takes a puzzling rainbow twist. On the outside, foliage-green, grape-soda purple and banana-yellow walls delineate the concrete cubes which make up the exterior of the home. They also designate the formal and casual spaces of the resort-like family dwelling on 1.53 acres in a gated community on Siesta Key. “It is striking and beautiful,” says Linda Dickinson, an agent with Michael Saunders & Company, who has the listing for the $12.9 million beachfront property on the Gulf of Mexico. Despite its rainbow facade, the interior walls of the 14,000 square foot home are completely neutral. Wide, covered balconies on every level provide shaded entertaining areas, and there’s an oversized spa plus an “adult slide” into the pool.

Bridge House--Ke... Built in a Z-shape, this sustainable yellow cedar-clad residence literally bridges the landscape, which runs through and under the mountainside dwelling. Situated on 17 acres and designed with an open-air feeling, the vacation home overlooks a state park and the Housatonic River. It oscillates, in the words of architect Joeb Moore, between tree house, campground and cave. Two concrete buttresses, each with a chimney and a fireplace, support the home’s primary living and dining space. To one side, the master bedroom has its own perch. Another two bedrooms and a studio are nestled into the hillside. Below the bridge, an open living room includes two fireplaces, an outdoor movie theater, barbecue and kitchenette.
