This postmodern house was designed for a pie-shaped lot on a busy lakeshore where an inner courtyard was to provide a more private garden area for the family.  The courtyard is also a great space to feature a fountain or sculpture.

Overnight guests have their own quaters over the garage (add a kichenette if your local code allows). The garage has rollup doors in the back as well for easy boat storage or to double as a large porch.

This plan should work for the more conventional lots as well. If you're into modern architecture but don't want to be too far-out, this one could be it.
