It’s a two-story circular structure surrounded by dunes and a fairly rugged landscape and it doesn’t have any neighbors. The house is placed on a remote site with beautiful and panoramic views that extend in all directions. The project started out with a simple request coming from the owner who wanted a small and modest shack, one that would show beauty and comfort can also be achieved in small doses, in contrast with a lot of the typical holiday houses in Australia which are massive. It measures less than 5 meters in radius and it has a circular floor plan. Although it stands out through its form and overall aesthetic, it’s not a very big structure. This unusual beach house was designed by studio Austin Maynard Architects and is located in Australia. Another really cool detail is that on one side of the house the outdoor garden is raised and reaches halfway up to the facade and when the dogs are hanging out on this side of the garden and the owners are inside the house they get to look each other straight in the eye. The architects also designed the house with a canopy that extends the roof all around the building and creates sheltered areas for the dogs. This shape allows the house to have a large and continuous window which they a 360 degree connect with the outside areas and allows visual contact to be maintained no matter where the owners are, whether it’s inside the house or outdoors.
That’s how the circular house design came to be. The owners wanted to be able to stay in contact with them and to keep an eye on them both when they’re indoor and outdoor. A particular important factor which influenced the design were actually the dogs. The ultimate goal was to offer a custom living experience by creating a house perfectly tailor according to its owners’ needs. The 360 Villa is a project that studio 123DV completed in 2017 and consists of a unique family home designed for a couple and their beloved dogs.

As expected, there will be a lot of custom details and features so it will be interesting to see them all.

Circular houses are unique and quite rare but we managed to find a few and we’re super excited to share their designs with you today. Style is irrelevant in this case simply because the shape alone is so unusual. A circle is not typically the geometric shape that comes to mind when thinking about houses.
