Features of Current Contemporary Home Designs

Throughout the late 1960s and into the '70s, these trending homes became quite popular. The contemporary style is often a combination of several architectural styles, but it incorporates features that are currently trending or ahead of the curve. Some of the characteristics often include:

• Open floor plans that make the space feel larger.
• Two levels, sometimes more, with the master usually located on the main level.
• Garage placement on the front of the home for cost-effectiveness.
• Shallow pitched roofs that often extend from a higher level down over the lower level.
• Simple, clean lines that are attractive and cost-effective to build.
• Large windows that let in a lot of natural light. They are sometimes trapezoidal in shape following the roofline pitch in the gables.
• Exteriors that are a mix of materials, such as wood, brick, rock, siding, and stucco.
• Vertical ornamentation is in simple patterns.

Contemporary homes are still being built across the nation and have been a very popular style both in tract home developments and custom home neighborhoods.
