Top 5 Architectural Design Elements for a Modern Home

People all over the world have fallen in love with modern architecture. You’ll find modern architecture design elements in many commercial buildings in your larger or trendy cities in particular. Inspired by their sleek and simple characteristics, more and more homeowners are requesting their contractor and architect team deliver a modern home with their new construction or home remodeling project.

We’ve compiled a list of the top 5 architectural design elements for a modern home. 

  1. Simplicity in the Design – The phrase “less is more” rings true for a modern home. You won’t find excessive ornamentation, but instead, bare minimum elements that promote a stress-free environment. Simple doesn’t equate to boring. Often the simplest designs are the most sophisticated.
  2. Clean and Crisp Lines – Modern Architecture favors linearity over decorative or curvilinear geometry. Look for prominent horizontal and vertical elements. You’ll notice most modern homes are square or rectangular.
  3. Incorporating a Mix of Materials – Steel, concrete, glass, and wood are the four most prominent materials found in modern homes. Typically, a combination of materials like the ones listed above is used to achieve that overall modern look. The differences in textures make them stand out while complementing each other at the same time.
  4. Utilizing Natural Light – Think large windows and skylights as a source of natural light. Some homeowners may use this as an opportunity to include an atrium or sunroom in their remodel plans.
  5. Integration of Interior and Exterior Space. The inside and outside should match with the materials carrying over from interior to exterior. Strategic placement of windows and doors will play a key role in achieving a cohesive look.

Take a look at a recent Rossi Construction project for a great example of modern architecture at its finest. Here you’ll find the clean crisp lines, a variety of materials and textures used both inside and outside, and many windows for natural lighting.

They were very professional. Quoted us a time frame and they were exact on the time frame. The were very clean as they cleaned up every night. Any questions I had they were very helpful. Overall a great experience. We plan on using them again if we decide to redo our bathrooms. The kitchen came out very nice and we are very happy with it.

This company is great. They did an awesome job on our remodel. The quality of work surpasses everything. All project hiccups were professionally handled and solutions came out better than planned. Jason Rossi and his lead foreman on our job Brian Smith are very professional. Brian provided a wealth of knowledge in regards to our entire first floor remodel project. Brian Smith is trustworthy and the quality of his work is impeccable. Job well done JRossi Construction!!

The work quality was outstanding, the crew friendly and a delight to work with, and they cleaned up after themselves and left the place in great shape! When I remodel my other unit, there is no doubt that Rossi Construction will be doing the work there also. I had an issue with the door quality of the cabinets and Rossi and his crew met with myself, and the Cabinet Representative immediately, and the issue was resolved to My Satisfaction. You can easily tell that Customer Satisfaction is what everyone in the organization is focused on. Great Job and thanks again, Ed.

Rossi just remodeled our hall bathroom and kitchen. They are incredibly skilled craftsmen who use the best products. We had two different men lead each project and they were both wonderfully skilled (cabinetry, tile, hardware installation, electric, plumbing, painting, etc.). They are honest, hardworking, on schedule, clean up after themselves, and fix problems. We highly recommend them.

Rossi Construction just finished renovating our veterinary hospital. The entire process from start to finish was flawless. Jason was the only contractor who looked at our space and was able to get a rough quote to us within 24 hours. Everything ran on schedule and within budget, and the final product was beautiful. Our project supervisor was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to work with. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for construction work in the Tampa area.

The guys from Rossi do great work. We did a complete remodel of two levels of our house (we have a split level). The work included a full redesign of the master suite (took space from the bedroom to make a bigger bathroom and add a walk-in closet, also changed configuration of some windows), full redesign of main level (kitchen, living, and dining space) that included floating a sunken floor and removing walls to open the space, and cosmetic updates to the rest of the bedrooms (new doors, trim, paint, etc.). Only small issues were due to subcontractors, and Rossi made sure everything was brought up to expectation. We're super happy with the result and would not hesitate to use them on future projects.

I would highly recommend Rossi construction. Jason and his employees were very professional, very conscientious, and definitely went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with the project. If I emailed questions, they were promptly answered. I believe the pricing on the project was very fair. I am recommending them to all my friends. It was a great experience working with this contractor. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Overall, the remodel went quite well. The workmanship is very good.The crew was very punctual and professional. I found some minor issues that I pointed out to them, and they resolved them to our satisfaction. They could have done a better job with drop cloths in the hallways. There was a fair amount of joint compound that got tracked around on the carpet, and some of the dirt & debris got ground into the carpet. However, I consider this to be a minor issue, and would definitely consider using them again.
