A modern house is more than a flat roof and white walls. Its main idea is a simple form, plenty of light and a functional space where every square metre works.

What sets a modern house apart

  • clean, simple forms and a facade without excess decoration;
  • large windows and a connection to the garden;
  • an open-plan living room, kitchen and dining area;
  • a combination of natural materials — wood, stone, concrete, metal.

Layout: what to watch for

Large glazing has to be planned with the direction of the sun, so the house doesn't overheat in summer. Bedrooms are better on the quiet side, and an open living room needs enough wall and storage so the space doesn't look untidy.

03

Facade and materials

A modern facade is often made of two or three materials. When choosing them, think not only about appearance but also about the climate, the budget and upkeep.

04

Energy efficiency

Good insulation, correct details and quality windows reduce heating and cooling costs for years. These decisions should be made at the design stage, because changing them after construction is expensive.
