What defines a modern house design
- Simple geometric shapes and clean lines with little ornament
- Flat or single-slope (shed) roofs
- Large windows and glass for daylight
- Open, connected living, dining and kitchen areas
- A restrained palette of white, grey and one warm accent colour
Modern, contemporary and minimalist: what is the difference?
Modern houses follow the clean geometry of 20th century modernism. Contemporary houses are more fluid and borrow from current trends, often with angled or shed roofs. Minimalist houses go furthest in removing detail and keeping only what is needed.
Modern design for Indian plots
Modern layouts work well on common plot sizes such as 30x40 and 40x60 feet. Shade for windows, cross ventilation and a covered car parking area keep a modern home comfortable in a warm climate.
