Modern house designs present rectangular exteriors, flat or slanted roof-lines, and super straight lines. Large expanses of glass (windows, doors, etc) often appear in modern house designs and help to aid in energy efficiency as well as indoor/outdoor flow. These clean, ornamentation-free house plans often sport a monochromatic color scheme and stand in stark contrast to a more traditional design, like a red brick colonial. While some people might tilt their head in confusion at the sight of a modern house floor plan, others can't get enough of them. It's all about personal taste. Note that modern home designs are not synonymous with contemporary house plans.

Modern house designs proudly present modern architecture, as has already been described. Contemporary house plans, on the other hand, typically present a mixture of architecture that's popular today. For instance, a contemporary house plan might feature a woodsy Craftsman exterior, a modern open layout, and rich outdoor living space. If contemporary house plans sound more up your alley, have no fear. Our contemporary collection can be found under the STYLES heading in the top navigation bar. On the other hand, if modern architecture floats your boat, stay right here and explore some cool modern house plans!

Location and modern house designs
What makes these modern house designs so special and different from others? Well, one of the criteria was location of the house, which often plays important role in the way house is designed. The modern house most always built somewhere on a cliff, high above the ocean, or down on a rocky beach, giving its residents an opportunity to enjoy in breathtaking views or relaxing sounds that ocean waves make while crashing into the rocks below the house. Nature will always have huge impact on the house design.

House size
Common opinion among people is that house has to be huge or expensive to be beautiful or amazing. This is really, really far from being true. Good architects and their clients who have taste and style will together create gorgeous modern house designs, no matter how big the house is at the end.

Architectural style
This is another thing strongly related to someone’s personality, but you have to admit, when someone has style, this is obvious to everyone. I think architects and owners of those homes have amazing style in architecture and this is one of the reasons why I put those homes on the list.

“The wow factor” of modern house designs
When we take all criteria described above, we get one and only, “the wow factor”. When you see modern home and its design, you’re either impressed, or not impressed. This can be described as “the wow factor”.

Green roof as part of modern house design
Green roofs are often being used as a key element in sustainable housing. Besides being good for the environment and your home’s overall sustainability, they also add value to a visual appearance of the house.

Small house design
Some people simply prefer smaller houses instead of big imposing mansions. And no one can blame them since small modern homes often really do look more charming and beautiful than large houses. Small house design based on minimalism and “less is more” approach can do wonders.
