The Benefits of Modern Design

Subscriber Access | 

To become an architect is to learn to fall in love with clean lines, pure functionality, and minimal simplicity. Which is why it’s so hard for us to understand why the majority of clients remain so tied to their “traditional” homes. You must understand that, for the typical home-buyer, a modern home seems “cold” and “austere” - even “clinical.” 

But nothing could be further from the truth. The Modern floor plan - which architects have faithfully incorporated ever since Frank Lloyd Wright first introduced it in the early 20th century - frees rooms from doorways, allowing the life of the house to merge into one, airy, vibrant space. Modern homes bring people together - what’s cold about that?

Still not sold? Here’s 5 reasons why architects love Modern design - and, if you’re thinking of starting fresh and buying a new home, why you’ll love it too.
