The people at this white house know what they're doing

This house, with its smooth white stucco walls, circular auto court, and blood-red metal sculpture at the entrance, is a love letter to international modern design. It’s also a psalm to minimalism and open-concept living.

Surrounded by more traditional homes, this more than 700sq m house sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in a prestigious gated enclave in south-west Fort Worth in Texas, the United States. It is the dream and design of homeowner Wail Majeed, a man with an unabashed devotion to geometric form and a romantic who appreciates the power of symbolism.
