Modern House Plans

Modern house plans favor clean lines, open floor plans, large expanses of glass, and indoor-outdoor flow over ornamentation. Asymmetric facades, low-slope or flat roofs, and a mix of natural materials (wood, stone, glass, steel) define the look. The plans below are drawn from designers working in the modern idiom today, ranging from compact accessory dwellings to family-sized homes.

What defines modern

Large windows and floor-to-ceiling glazing

Indoor-outdoor connection (decks, courtyards, walls of glass)

Who buys this style

Design-forward buyers who want a contemporary aesthetic without the price of full custom architecture, on lots that take advantage of natural light and views.
