9 ) C on t e m p o r a r y A r c h i t e c t u r e
Key features: Contemporary Style homes are the
popular modern-era houses between 1960s to
1970s.
Common in this style are the large plate glass
windows and either metal or concrete. It then
decorates with a natural look of wood or stones and
some geometrical shapes like rounds and rectangles
incorporating them with other styles in its most
creative way.

What to say: Contemporary designs are also

asymmetrical in form. Natural lighting is its favorite
spotlight allowing it to come through the large windows
and sliding doors. This style is not into too much detail
and ornamentation; it prefers clean and smooth textures
and lines.
