This fairytale-like home designed by German architects MÜLLERS BÜRO reminds you just of Hansel and Gretel. The long vertical windows facing the garden is a clean contrast of the red exterior. Although it looks simple, it is certainly a dream house filled with coziness and joyfulness for the old ages.

3. A single-storey bungalow house

Designed again by MÜLLERS BÜRO, this house consists of only one storey. If you prefer wide horizontal complexes over high and vertical constructions, consider a single-storey bungalow house like the one in the photo. The German architects also created a nice gardening courtyard surrounding the house. To compensate its nature theme, the interior was furnished with wooden materials and lively plants.

4. A soil-like house with a comfortable impression

The MÜLLERS BÜRO has done a good job in balancing the colors of the exterior by appropriately using soil-like and neutral tones. The beige house blends utterly well with its surrounding greens, giving the whole picture a nice balance. However once you enter the house, the atmosphere will feel completely different. The spacious interior and wooden theme creates a sense of openness and also reflects an abundant amount of sunshine.

5. A house where you can enjoy the texture and temperature of wood

Japanese architect ARBOL has adopted a clean timber exterior for this retirement house, so smooth that you won’t even know where the entrance is at first glance. Designed specifically for retired couples, the soft lightings used around the corridors illuminate the timber walls to create an extravagant atmosphere at night. The interior is also decorated in wooden textures. But unlike the enclosed exterior, the inside of the house consists of wide glass windows which produce a great sense of openness.

6. A cozy and comfortable house

Houses like the one in the photo would be perfect for your long-living retirement life. Composed of a neutrally-colored exterior and light-gray roof, the American-style home overlooks a spacious garden and stunning swimming pool. Isn’t this perfectly relaxing for your retirement years?

If you wonder what it’ll be like staying in the city, take a look at this Japanese house for some inspiration! The bottom floor of this complex is used as a garage, while the actual living area lies on the second floor. Despite being away from the rurals, the architects have built an outdoor garden on its terrace for those who wish to live among nature. This solid concrete house made of bricks is overall very impressive in its design and construction.

8. A house among nature
