Atelier Monolit is a Romanian creative studio that specializes in bringing seemingly impossible architectural projects to life. With its combination of an otherworldly environment, brutalist yet geometric design and mid century accoutrements, The Beach House is the perfect example of what the brand does. Who wouldn’t want to stay in a retreat situated this close to the beach with a rooftop pool and patio, leather couches, hardwood floors, hanging chairs and plenty of space to rest and relax? What’s more, based on the renderings, there are surfboards and a pair of dune buggies so you can explore and enjoy the surroundings should you ever get bored of the house. Like many other fanciful and conceptual architectural projects, this one only exists on monitors and screens at this point. But if anyone ever coughed up the cash to get it built, we’d be the first in line to book a stay.
