For those who collect, display areas might be the most important part of a home design. The two homes highlighted in this post belong to collectors of books and decorative treasures, necessitating a large amount of space for storage without compromising on style.

The second home relies on stylish shelves with a more traditional arrangement, yet the overall effect is no less stunning....

Whilst being completely sheltered and wrapped with modern indoor comfort, nature can still be observed and absorbed from throughout this home; calming encounters with nature are available through expanses of glazed walls that can be fully retracted for seamless connection....
The true triumph of this collection is its modesty. All that exists to impress is concealed. Take, for example, the kitchen or entertainment system, both of which are almost unidentifiable in these images because without compromising functionality, they have been masterfully hidden. Sleek black panels fold out to reveal the kitchen with a homogeneously lit splashback and the television has been discarded, replaced by a state-of-the-art projector. One may expect that a combination of modern minimalism, severe architectural angles and a heavy reliance on glass for light, would result in a feeling of austerity, but the firm manages to pull it off with natural and functional materials that actually echo the environment and create an elemental atmosphere....
