Introduction:
• Modern architecture has
something for everyone. Even if
your taste may veer towards the
opposite side of the design
spectrum, there are still elements
of modern design that will appeal
to you.
• The fundamentals of modern
architecture are clean and simple.
What is modern architecture ?
• modern architects express themselves
through simplicity, clear views of
structural elements and by eschewing
unnecessary design details.
• Modern architecture boasts the actual
structure and materials used in the
building vs. covering them up with
ornate designs.
• That is why most modern designs
feature elements of wood, steel and
glass, in order to show-off these
industrial structural materials:
• Overall, modern architecture is defined by clean lines and minimalist interiors
that allow the structure to speak for itself and take center-stage. The images
above are a perfect example of clean and simple modern architecture.
What makes Modern Design unique?

• Despite its simplistic styling that


avoids extra fluff, modern
architecture remains unique. In
fact, modern architects have
created some of the most unique
designs to date.

• Looking to the designs of 


Frank Lloyd  and numerous
other iconic architects.
• Modern architecture is anything but boring. Looking to the originality of the bold,
angular roof lines that are so prominent in modern design which are uniquely used.  
• Everything from the vaulted ceilings, to the exposed structural elements, to the unusual
linear elements, all equate to a unique, artistic design that we cannot help but be
amazed by.
Warmth in Modern Architecture:
• A misconception that critics often have of
modern architecture is that it’s cool and cold.
However, the opposite could be argued.  A
large number of modern designs feature
elements that are naturally warm and inviting,
such as wood and stone. Floor-to-ceiling stone
fireplaces, large windows that let in natural
light and vaulted post and beam ceiling.
• there is definitely warmth to be found in
modern architecture. Also, most modern
plans contain fewer walls, thereby creating a
more welcoming, open living space that most
people crave.
Modern & traditional Architecture can be mixed:
• Mixing traditional and modern architectural elements works well when done
properly and with a slight hand of restraint. There are numerous examples of
successful meshing of these two, seemingly opposing, styles together into
one cohesive design. 
• What’s not to love about modern architecture! We have proven that
modern designs are unique, warm, inviting and open creations of
structural beauty. Even better, you can add traditional elements into a
modern design and get the best of both design worlds.

• Modern architecture is the soon future of our living environments.
