Diversified Suburban Living Embraces the Contemporary Home Plan

While the concept of “New Urbanism” (walkable communities with a mix of housing and businesses) is gaining popularity among some city planners, many consumers still prefer suburban planned communities. There are several reasons for this – the ’burbs often feature more open spaces, for one thing. Another advantage is the consistent visual style of suburban neighborhoods. However, those who would like to live in suburban communities may feel restricted in the types of home plans they may choose. Some Homeowners Associations are very specific about which home styles and features are allowed in their planned communities. Fortunately, homebuyers can choose from an array of contemporary house plans that will fit perfectly into their new suburban neighborhoods.

Mascord’s designers have created dozens of modern home plans that would grace any suburban neighborhood. The modernist style can involve harsh lines and awkward angles. Poorly done, a modern home can seem like a major eyesore. Our designers avoid this by including beautiful natural materials, elegant asymmetrical rooflines and plenty of large windows. The contemporary house plans in our collection are sleek and versatile – equally stunning in a natural setting or in a suburb. Here are a few more features commonly found in our modern home plans:

• Open floor plans that lend an airy, open feel to shared living spaces.

• Vaulted ceilings to lend a feeling of space without adding on more square footage.

• Beguiling built-ins, such as bookcases, entertainment centers and even dressers. These are the details that catch the eye and make living in contemporary house plans such a joy.

Have no fear – you will be able to find a set of stunning contemporary home plans in our collection that will not only delight your family, but will also win the resounding approval of your suburban planning board.
