An open house can give your old house a touch of modern architecture. This is ideal on place such as your living room, your dining room, or any area in your house where you can have a great view of the stars and the sky.

There is no question about it. This is the dream house of the Italians and the haven that all tech savvy would love to have. The contemporary home created by Duilio Damilano is a great mixture of both. Although the house in general is not far from the typical houses in Italy, the high-tech features of the home is what separates it from the rest. Would you believe that the whole house is automated? Starting from the door to the pool and other parts of this shelter as well? You don’t have to search for the right switch just to make use of the house’s facilities.

Other than concrete, this Dream House is made up mostly of large panelled glass. You can have a great view of the people swimming at the nearby pool if you are at the dining area and living room. At night, get a clear view of the sky from these areas of the house as well.

Of course with an open house, they still want some privacy. But instead of concrete walls, they chose to have green walls instead made out of tall bushes and trees. Now that’s what you call Luxury living!
