stone houses

From ancient to modern times, stone houses have represented the idea of the perfect shelter, sturdy enough to withstand fire and floods as well as the damage caused by passage of time. This selection of architectural projects showcases the huge variety of modern stone house designs that use this material as a building block for urban homes, modern farmhouses, compact retreats, and more. As varied as the textures of their walls, these stone house designs highlight not only the genius of talented architects but also the beauty of the natural material.
