Modern home designs stand in stark contrast to the highly ornamented traditional home styles of the 18th and 19th centuries. They feature clean lines with minimal, if any, decoration and put an emphasis on bright, open, and spacious interiors. Despite their focus on simplicity, modern house plans are incredibly diverse and come in all kinds of looks.
Common features of modern house plans include open floor plans, high/vaulted ceilings, large windows, and unique rooflines. Many examples have entire walls of glass to blur the line between indoors and out, but they also place windows high to keep key spaces private. Given the lack of decorative touches, look for asymmetry to provide plenty of unique interest in each modern home.
Modern homes are ideal for view lots due to their oversized windows and open interiors that bring sights deeper inside. Many people also select them for accessibility, because they minimize interior partitions and hallways; this makes the most of every square foot, of course, but also makes it easier for people with mobility aids to navigate the space. Finally, modern house plans have plenty of sleek curb appeal, so they're perfect if you want your home to stand out on the street.
