In lush natural surroundings of mature trees, dense shrubs, and soft lawns, low linear architecture melds sympathetically with the environment. The sleek, man-made linear form beds peacefully into nature’s emerald cushion to create a balance of life, firmly rooted and standing strong alongside one another. Today, we’re celebrating our love of linear architecture with two contemporary home designs. Our first is a house of two planes, great concrete slabs that sandwich a chamber of glass, open living spaces and private suites. A sparkling, rectangular pool emulates the elongated line of the build, emphasising its scale. Our second, a house in Sotogrande, demonstrates an almost invisible link with its habitat with fabulous frameless glass walls.

If you’re not in for a complete kitchen renovation, simply painting your cabinets black and adding a black-and-white patterned rug will achieve the purpose! We love how this kitchen keeps sets the base with white and tops it with black.

When everything else is understated, letting the lighting create a statement is a good idea. This matte black kitchen interior uses rod lighting to do the talking. It sticks to the all black kitchen color scheme, though!

30. Tone it Down

This open floor plan uses dark gray throughout, showing us that black can work in more spaces than the kitchen 😉 It sure makes a design statement for those cooking and dining—or lounging!

This is the ultimate modern luxury black kitchen! After all, what’s better than displaying your favorite collection of beer right behind the black kitchen island? The low-hanging pendant lights also add to the black kitchen design.

This dark-gray kitchen is super simple with its sleek, hardware-less cabinetry. Well, except the far left end. Here, we see a statement piece of art and intriguing layered lighting created a focal point.

This compact kitchen space follows the simple rule: white walls paired with black cabinetry and an island. Even in this nook, the space is able to make a style statement while providing optimal functionality. The window here gives a contrasting element of light to the otherwise dark modern kitchen.
