A broad category that largely refers to buildings from the late 20th century to the present, contemporary architecture isn’t defined by a single style. Contemporary homes can look radically different from one another, and sometimes from anything that has come before. Rapidly evolving building technologies and materials increase innovation not only in terms of stylistic possibilities, but by helping to bolster green building practices that are a priority for today’s architects.
Check out these contemporary architect-built homes that include fresh takes on familiar forms; sustainably built structures that live in harmony with the surrounding landscape; and bold, unconventional silhouettes that expand the definition of what a home is supposed to look like.
