Modern House Plans Modern house plans offer clean lines, simple proportions, open layouts and abundant natural light, and are descendants of the International style of architecture, which developed in the 1920s. Flat or shallow-pitched roofs, large expanses of glass, strong connections to outdoor space, and spare, unornamented walls are characteristics of Modern house plans. The lot is often incorporated into the Modern style home, turning outdoor space into alfresco living rooms. To see additional Modern style house plans try our advanced floor plan search.
