Modern House Plans

Modern House Plans

Modern House Plans are always a bit controversial. Is this style modern or contemporary? Many use these two style terms interchangeably, making it confusing on where to draw the line. We have concluded that , “modern” is a style of its own, while “contemporary” can encompass many different styles that are current or en vogue. We view modern home design as timeless and iconic, like the work of Eames, Wright and Saarinen.

Historically speaking, modern was “form follows function” of the Bauhaus, open floor plans and clean lines. Modern is always forward thinking and innovative as it started as a radical opposition to popular decorative movements of the early 19th century

Mark Stewart Ultra Modern Design includes crisp, sharp geometry and almost always will be accompanied by warm material use that creates a dynamic tension and contrast that is always energetic and comfortable at the same time. We have produced this collection of unique house plans that share all of these characteristics and are affordable to build at the same time. If you have any questions about these home design or floor plans, don’t hesitate to call or email us. We can also design Custom Modern House Plans if you have an idea in mind!

Narrow Modern House Plan Prince Exterior
MM-1946

A Narrow Modern Home for a Narrow Lot

In addition to this plan’s stunning looks, this narrow modern design also comes in at just 30′ wide, making it the perfect s size for many suburban developments. Even at 30′, we still managed to pack this home with tons of exciting features that owners and builders alike will love.

It’s easy to make a narrow home, but what’s not easy is making it live big and feel comfortable and breathable. All too often, skinny homes can be cramped and stifling, so we want to make sure each of our narrow modern plans feels huge. Once inside this home, you’ll walk through the foyer past the powder room and arrive at the heart of the main floor, an open concept arrangement where the great room, dining room, and kitchen all harmonize to create a warm and inviting living space that you’ll want to stay in forever. The kitchen includes tons of counter space, a large functional island, and a careful appliance arrangement that maximizes efficiency. The main floor also benefits from a large view window off the great room, a patio, a fireplace in the great room, and a window above the sink that makes food prep and doing the dishes bright and cheery.

The upper floor offers all the bedrooms, two on each end. This many bedrooms in a home of this size often lack privacy or space, but we worked hard to organize them so there is only a maximum of one shared wall, and each room has plenty of space. The primary bedroom suite is at the rear of the upper floor and gets tons of light, and could easily take advantage of a view should you build on an open lot. The en suite bathroom gives you everything you need, including side by side sinks and a private toilet. The utility room resides on the upper floor as well and is located centrally, making it convenient for all residents to do laundry.

Two Story Narrow House Plan

We continue to grow our portfolio of two story narrow house plans with “Strum,” a 30 foot wide modern home that will make just about any builder happy. Perfect for a variety of lots, we think just about anyone can get along with this design.

When you arrive home, you’ll come to the covered porch that whisks you inside to the foyer. Once inside, you’ll move past the powder room and staircase to arrive at the open concept central living core. The bulk of the main floor is comprised of this space; the great room, the kitchen, and the dining room. A large view window in the great room fills the main floor with natural light and makes space feel even bigger. The kitchen offers a thoughtful appliance arrangement, a large central island that looks out over the dining room and great room, and tons of counter space.

Onward to the upper floor, you’ll see all four bedrooms, the utility room, and a sizable landing. It can be hard to squeeze four bedrooms in a narrow home, and if you do, it can often feel just like that, squeezed. We feel this arrangement allows for privacy, comfort, and efficiency, all at the same time. After landing on the upper floor, you can head right to find a full bath, the first of four large bedrooms, and the spacious utility room. On the other half of the upper floor you’ll see the other three bedrooms, one of which is the luxurious primary bedroom suite. This bedroom offers tons of natural light thanks to a large view window at the back, a vaulted ceiling, and an en suite bathroom with double sinks, a private toilet, and a large shower. The final two bedrooms are on the opposite end of the floor and have been zoned for plenty of privacy.
