Modern House Plans

A modern home plan typically has open floor plans, lots of windows for natural light, and high, vaulted ceilings somewhere in the space. Also referred to as Art Deco, this architectural style uses geometrical elements and simple designs with clean lines to achieve a refined look.

This style, established in the 1920s, differs from contemporary house plans. Modern refers to a consistent approach to design, whereas contemporary homes include the latest design trends. That being said, it’s common to see a modern home design with contemporary elements and functionality.

Whether you’re looking for a large family home with a lot of square footage, a small modern house plan or something more trendy like a modern farmhouse, you’ll find it in our collection. We work with our designers to provide the plans that best represent modern architecture.

The popularity of this style among homeowners means there are plenty of options available, and it is not hard to get the look you’re after for your new home — even on a budget. The Plan Collection strives to offer our customers a variety of modern house plans with different characteristics to match any taste.  Though the plans differ in regards to the specific features, there are some commonalities:

• Geometric aspects like rectangles in the design
• Minimalist decorative elements
• Straight rooflines
• Large windows
• Other features that welcome natural light
• One or two kitchen islands
• Open floor plans with a large living room space
• Main floor primary suite
• Outdoor living space like a balcony, front or rear porch, or wraparound porch
• Attached garage or carport
• One- or two-story house plans common

Similar to this architectural style is the mid-century modern style, which includes low-sloping rooflines, concrete floors, and post-and-beam construction.
