All about Contemporary House Floor Plans

Floor Plans

Stylish and unique, contemporary house floor plans are the latest architectural home designs that are tailored to suit today’s modern style of living. These floor plans incorporate abstract structures on large floor area making them stand out from the regular traditional house designs. The floor plans concentrate on functionality and usage over luxury and grandeur.

Basic plan

The contemporary house floor plans are flexible providing the homeowner the advantage of easily modifying it to suit their needs. These floor plans are simple with asymmetrical but balanced structures whose appeal matches the modern style. The contemporary floor plans are mostly open providing easy flow of space from one room to another without the obstruction of walls in between. It also makes the house look spacious and airy.

Living room

Most of the homes with contemporary floor plans are one storey and all the rooms are strategically placed to provide the optimal accessibility and privacy. These homes have large living area which makes the centre of the entire home. A huge fireplace in a contemporary house is an added luxury and it typically forms the centre of attention just like a traditional house floor plan but the mantle over the fireplace is usually designed with simple and elegant lines without any elaborate decoration.

Bedroom, kitchen and dining room

The dining area is adjacent to the kitchen which is mostly left as an open one providing a great view of the artistically designed kitchen. Simple and neat cabinets made of wood decorate the kitchen giving it an elegant look.

And when it comes to entertaining the guests, the contemporary house floor plan makes way for it too. The well-designed floor plans accommodate large porches for get-togethers and backyards for your family barbeques. The bedrooms are confined to the corner or side of the home to provide privacy.

Windows and roofing

The entire structure uses vertical and horizontal line with little or no curved structures. Unlike a traditional home the complete design of a contemporary home has a least number of decorative structures. They mostly have flat roofs or very few slopes.

These contemporary home designs use a lot of horizontal and vertical windows to let in maximum natural light. Some homes use vertical wood slides for windows instead of horizontal ones for a more contemporary look.

Energy efficient

Interestingly, the contemporary homes are not only modern and advanced in their looks but also in their building technology. These homes use natural resources, recycled materials and modern building materials like glass, vinyl and cement. With the use of lots of glass panes, they pave way for natural light and save on energy too. Low energy consumption LEDs and CFL lights, motion sensor lights and Energy Star fixtures are some of the frequently used energy efficient lighting systems in a contemporary house.

Contemporary floor plans are best suited for those who love to take their home design over the edge and make a mark.
