Can you differentiate between building and architecture, between house designs and modern house designs?
Arne Jacobsen, the Danish architect and designer once said: “If a building becomes architecture, then it is art “. Probably this can be taken as an ultimate tagline for modern house designs.” In every nook and corner, as we pay attention to, we can see marvelous designs, standing tall and unique. Similarly, in our previous blog post, we have discussed creating an admirable balcony for your new home.
Also, just as you go a step back, you can see amazing kitchen ideas too.
And now, we are going to cast a glance across some of the interesting modern architectures or modern house designs.
Interesting Factors in House Designs
Before we look into the art of designs, let us read-through some interesting factors that make the modern house designs stunning.
Right Location
After all, location matters a lot when it is about having a modern house design. Some of the artful designs that we are going to discuss in this post are located at some desirable destinations to live. No matter where you are, when you come back home, a home close to nature is always an attraction. When we check out some of the modern architecture, we can see modern house designs located on rocky beaches or on cliffs or on nature’s arms.
House Size
The perception is that a big house is only a good house. We cannot be that judgemental in choosing a home, as some interesting modern house designs revolve around small sized attractive homes. It is no wonder that many modern homes are small yet creative in design and form.
The Architecture and the ‘WOW’ Factor!
In spite of the size of the home, the architecture is what creates the ‘wow’ factor. We are all pretty much known to the saying ‘the first impression is the best impression’ and that applies here too. But, the ‘wow’ factor of architecture is the one you get the first time you see the design, namely the beautiful landscapes, the arch avenue or a water fountain, depending on personal taste and the architect’s art.
