Modernism began at a time when the industrial revolution and technological advances in architecture were happening fast.

With the increasing mechanization came the mass production and increased availability of modern materials like steel, iron, plate glass, and concrete.

Even though modern-style architecture does away with any form of ornamentation, it’s anything but boring. This is because modern-style homes take on distinctive designs that are instantly eye-catching.

For instance, instead of gabled or rooftop finials, modern-style homes feature flat roofs with angular lines and broad overhangs.

These roofs emphasize the principle of form over function best as they’re not only visually appealing but can also easily convert into functional spaces thanks to their horizontal orientation.

Modern exteriors also often feature whitewashed exteriors or restrained color palettes.

As for the interior, modern-style homes usually feature large, spacious, and open floor plans that flow into one another.

The use of modern materials with incredible durability like steel makes it possible for architects to use minimal supports in an interior, allowing them to create open, airy spaces with just a few interior walls.

Since there’s no ornamentation, architects have the opportunity to create bold, asymmetrical designs that create visual interest while maintaining overall simplicity.
