White Houses by Philip Jodidio celebrates modernist idealism and the play of light and shadow, showing how white can act as the perfect backdrop against which to animate our lifestyles.

SIlver House, Zakynthos, Greece, 2015. Dwek Architecture + Partners. An outdoor terrace culminating in an infinity pool frames a remarkable view of Cephalonia and the broad blue expanse of the Ionian Sea. Photographer credit: © Serge Anton

Sugarcubes, Grândola, Tróia, Portugal, 2014. Montenegro Architects. Strict white lines reveal little of the internal disposition of the residence. Photograph credit: Montenegro Architects.

The Cave, Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico, 2017. Abraham Cota Paredes Arquitectos. Although built in a rather densely packed residential neighbourhood, the house stands out because of its crisp white lines and relative blankness. Photographer credit: Photography by Cesar Bejar.

C House, Timisoara, Romania, 2014. Parasite Studio. The angled white volumes of the house are starkly contrasted with the black finishing around all of the openings. A light black line also marks the horizontal demarcation of each level. Photographer credit: Photography by Wenczel Attila

Polite House, Trondheim, Norway, 2012. JVA. The house appears to be made of three stacked and slightly skewed volumes, with touches of colour inside contrasting with the white walls. Photographer credit: © Lars Evanger

House T, Miyazaki, Japan, 2013. Tsukano Architect Office. The exterior of the house offers few clues as to the interior disposition of its spaces. Photographer credit: Photos by Kenichi Asano

Garden House, London, UK, 2014. De Matos Ryan. The blank white upper volume of the house sits on a completely glazed ground level, which has been excavated to protect the space walls, while allowing light to penetrate fully. Photographer credit: Hufton+Crow
