Modern Villa Indigo, Catalonia, Spain

Modern Villa Indigo as seen from the swimming pool

Modern Villa Indigo is designed by Spanish studio Josep Camps and Olga Felip and it is located in the residential area of La Selva at PGA Catalunya Resort.


This single story modern home has very simple shape, minimal design and open floor plan. Large open areas and glass walls could easily put this villa into the glass house category. Engineered wood flooring with Camarú wood in all the house and motorized black out blinds in all rooms are only few of many impressive features this modern villa has.

Beautiful Home As A Mix Of Modern And Traditional

Modern home with traditional style as seen from the street

Let's take a break from minimalism and modern glassy homes. NeMo is beautiful custom made home located in Winter Park, a suburban city in Orange County, Florida, United States.


New Modern or short NeMo, is designed by Phil Kean Designs office, specialised in architecture, construction and interiors. This beautiful home is combination of traditional houses and modern architecture. While there's enough of concrete and walls for those who are afraid of being exposed to much, there is also enough of glass, open areas and contemporary features.


Interior architecture is kept in darker colors with stone textures on the floor and walls. Home is open to the terrace where is beautiful swimming pool surrounded with high and dense green vegetation which creates nice fresh atmosphere and offers privacy.
