Ideas of the indelible and award-winning architect, Zaha Hadid, resonate throughout today's luxury homes. "I don't think that architecture is only about shelter, only about a very simple enclosure," Hadid said. "It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think." Certainly, these are words to live by, and more importantly, to design by.
Today's modern architecture is based upon new and innovative technologies of construction, particularly the use of glass. The design MO that form should follow function, coupled with the selected use of ornament, is inherent in any A-list contemporary architectural masterpiece. Clean lines, warm woods and bold views culminate together to create a transformational design that makes an interior space synchronize with its external surroundings. Undoubtedly, interiors across the globe are taking their design cues from Hadid.
Here, we take you inside some A-list penthouses and palatial apartments that are at the height of modernist design, and in some of the most sought-after metropolitan space.

Aristotle said that,“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Said another way, when individual parts are connected together to form one luxury living space, it is better than any one singular architectural detail considered alone, because the total when taken together provides that je ne sais quoi quality. And these luxury spaces prove this sentiment.
