  • The Edge House

    The Edge House is quite unusual in that it was originally designed for a narrow plot in Marbella with amazing views – so we wanted these views to be safeguarded, even from the kitchen in the very back of the house.

    The house has spectacular cantilevers on the front, supported by structural walls on one side only – and a strong “graphical” look.

    This cantilevered front is used often in our designs, as it creates a great view for the main room as well as the master bedroom on top.

    When combined with a second volume in an L shaped design – it becomes our “flying house” design. And occasionally we´ve used two cantilevered volumes, like in the St. John house on the USVI.


  • The Brazilian House, Marbella

    For a Belgian developer, specialized in minimalist architecture on the coast, Modern Villas did this quick study to show the potential of the building plot they bought in Marbella Club.

    The design was made by the Brazilian team, based on the modernist, but warm, tropical minimalism so typical for this tropical country.

  • The Barcelona House

    For a French client, Modern Villas just designed this eclectic mixture of traditional designs with modern, clean lines yet warm, high touch materials and interiors – Belgian style.

    This is actually the way Modern Villas presents its “draft” designs… Clients get images, videos and even a 3D walkthrough so you can walk through your villa as if in a video game! Contact us ([email protected]) to see an example!

  • Union Island

    Union Island

    The villa unfolds along Campbell Beach’s limestone edge, its low roof hovering just above the trade winds.


    A single travertine wall slices the plan, guiding the eye from arrival court to sea.


    Living spaces open through pivoting glass walls that vanish, letting the Caribbean spill across polished concrete floors.
    Teak screens filter sunlight into shifting lattices, blurring boundaries between inside and out.


    The infinity pool stretches toward the horizon, its surface level with the living terrace—so the ocean seems to begin at your feet.
    Morning light washes the master suite; evening breezes drift through without a switch flipped.


    A sunken courtyard of black basalt brings the sky down between wings, cooling the air as it rises.


    The kitchen island faces the water, every meal framed by reef and sky.

    Lounges, daybeds, and dining flow outward under ipe beams and native vines. Rain channels into hidden cisterns; solar ribbons power silent comfort.


    The villa breathes with the peninsula—open, shaded, salt-kissed.
    Every room is a veranda; every veranda, a room.
    Here, architecture simply steps aside and lets the Grenadines in.
