You don’t have to be a Zillow addict to get an extra buzz every time you see a gorgeous modern home. We are right there with you! Whether it’s the open floor plans or clean geometry, it’s hard to turn away. If you’re living in Kirkland or Bellevue, you know that modern architecture is the preferred choice and custom builders in Bellevue are sought after. Let’s take a look at 6 modern architecture homes you’d love to live in!
1. Geometric Warmth – Urban Modern Architecture
With a warm wood exterior and boxy design, this modern gem manages to be both bold and modest. The tuck under garage feels hidden, which allows the house to shine. Concrete flower beds adds an industrial feel, but paired with the right vegetation, will strike a perfect balance of modern and warm. Not to mention the gorgeous corner windows, perfect for taking in a view of Lake Washington. If you can get over the outside, you can go inside to enjoy the remarkable black stone fireplace — perfect for rainy nights in the pacific northwest.
2. Mixed Materials in the Modern Architecture Homes
With both a flat and slanted roof line and industrial railing, this family home does not compromise on modern design. Our Gatewood project is notable for its subtle incorporations of repeated modern design elements. The slatted fence mimics the wood siding in both shape and color. This choice makes the house flow easily from indoor to outdoor. Perched up, you can guarantee this house has a view. But if you don’t like gorgeous bodies of water, you can go hit the sauna or rain shower.
3. Seamless Transition into Nature
This stunner illustrates the beauty of modern architecture homes that incorporate nature into its design. On the ground level is a thoughtfully crafted indoor- outdoor patio that transitions smoothly into the backyard and creates a lovely outdoor living space. Nature and home are in conversation with one another in great design. The lighting and black metal detail also add to the modern warmth.
4. Sunlit and Industrial Modern Architecture Homes
This example of a Modern Architecture Home is one of our favorites. We named this project Kirkland Dream for a reason! No matter what side of the house you are looking at, trust us, you will be impressed as this house was designed with a purpose. Artistically perforated cement siding adds an unexpected time-worn dimension that pairs well with the sleek dark paneling.
Even the steps leading up to the front door are designed with intentionality and excellence. You might think you are at a modern museum of art in your favorite city of Kirkland. The large windows let in plenty of natural light.
5. Made for a View
If you’ve ever been hiking in the cascades, you’ll notice a striking similarity between the ranger watch towers and the way we designed this roof. We also paired it with modern black windows and dark siding to keep it contemporary. Our Modern Minimalism project offers simplicity in the tree tops. Industrial railing finishes off a gorgeous deck complete with views every Washingtonian could appreciate. Extra width in our front door is ultra inviting. And the warm wood tones give the same suggestion.
6. Modern Architecture Homes: Farmhouse Twist
Modern architecture homes aren’t just geometric and boxy. Take our Bridge View project in which we artistically blend the square aesthetic of modern architecture with the suggestion of a farmhouse. Additionally, the siding mixes high contrast colors like white, black, and a splash of natural wood. This adds to its boldness and the warmth of the wood welcomes you right to the door. Modern light fixtures also finish off this house well.
Whether you are a new transplant to breathtaking Washington, or you’ve been a local all your life, building a modern architectural home is a must. Modern design takes into account how you interface with your home. Not only do you want it to be beautiful to look at, but also intuitive to live in. Beauty can be healing. Let us help you love where you live.
