Our collection of contemporary house plans features simple exteriors and truly functional, spacious interiors visually connected by massive window displays. The hallmark of these modern homes is that they are devoid of the sort of extra detailing that people throughout history used to decorate their properties, leaving just the beauty of clean lines and a refreshing appreciation for efficient living instead. Contemporary houses are built around the open floor plan, which expands usable square footage to the maximum in shared spaces, and they also tend to utilize large windows—some as extensive as floor-to-ceiling and taking up an entire wall—to flood the interior with natural light. Other than these shared features, this type of architecture comes in all shapes and sizes, making it one of the most diverse categories despite its strict underlying design principles. You'll find that contemporary homes can be very unique on their own, but some also share qualities of Mediterranean, European, and other types of construction so long as the basic modern qualities are maintained. If you need assistance finding just the right contemporary house plan, please email, live chat, or call us at 866-214-2242 and we'll be happy to help!
