Classic cars are frequently used as props when photographing newly completed architecture projects, while sometimes entire homes are designed around their owner's automobiles. We've chosen 10 where photogenic vehicles compliment the buildings, from a countryside retirement home to a converted windowless garage.

Villa SG21 by FillieVerhoeven Architects
A silver Jaguar E-Type Coupe takes centre stage in this photograph by François Verhoeven of Villa SG21 in Holland.
Dutch studio FillieVerhoeven Architects built the asymmetric blackened timber-clad house in adherence to strict local planning regulations, due to the historic area, which required that the house include a sloping roof to fit in with the surroundings.
While the barn-stylings of the house reference the area's agricultural heritage, the architects incorporated the owner's wish for a bold, minimal aesthetic by installing large glazed openings on all sides. Find out more about Villa SG21 ›

Silver House by Hyde + Hyde
A cantilevering balcony shelters a DeLorean DMC-12 parked outside this house in Wales, by architecture practice Hyde + Hyde.
In this image, photographer Michael Sinclair has married the steely tones of the 1980s car to the blues of Silver House's exterior.
Made for a family who relocated to Wales from London in search of a more nature-filled existence, Silver House features glass walls to make the most of the surrounding views.
