Contemporary House Plan Details

Stripped down, sleek and elegant Contemporary house plans are a complete departure from traditional style and were a favorite in architect-designed homes in the fifties, sixties and early seventies. Related to International Style homes, but less sculptural and reserved, these homes often feature a balcony with an overhanging sunscreen, roof decks and a patio that serves as an extension of the living area.

Contemporary House Plan Features

Increased Functionality

Found in manicured suburban neighborhoods across the country, sophisticated contemporary house designs offer soaring ceilings and a timeless simplicity that works well for both families and individuals. Contemporary house plans also emphasize open, flexible spaces, allowing the homeowner to tailor the home's functionality.

Modern Finishes

Modern or "industrial" mixed materials such as concrete, vinyl, and glass are used extensively throughout the home. Contemporary house plans are perfect for those who want to make a clean break from the past and embrace pure modern style.

Low-Pitched Roof

The wide eave overhang, flat or low pitched roofs with broad, low front-facing gables attribute to the industrial feel of the Contemporary home. Steeped in simplicity the bold boxy exterior features exposed supporting beams, contrasting wall materials, and unusual window shapes accentuating the modern feel of the home.
