To become an architect in Dallas is
to study to fall in love with fine lines, great functionality, and negligible
simplicity. Which is why it’s so difficult for an interior designer in Austin
to understand why the majority of clients stat so knotted to their
“traditional” homes. You must acknowledge that, for the general home-buyer, a contemporary
home design means “cold” and “serious” - even “scientific.”
But nothing could be further from
the reality. The Modern floor plan - which architects have loyally combined
ever since Frank Lloyd Wright first brought it in the early 20th century -
frees rooms from doorways, enabling the life of the house to combine into one,
airy, vivacious space. Modern homes introduce people together - what’s cold
about that?
One of the biggest revolutions in
contemporary home design was the “liberation” of the kitchen. By shifting the
kitchen into the open living space, it turns into an essential part of daily
life, and the heart of the home. In addition, since they’re so visible, modern
kitchens boast of lots of storage (to hide cookware) and state-of-the-art equipment
(to show off).
Modern homes are meant to
incorporate lots of glass (either via large windows or glass doors), inundating
the house with natural light, highlighting views, and making it all that easier
to relish the outdoors. Modern home design is meant to maximize space so you
never feel cramped. Plus, the airier a home is, the easier it is for natural
light to illuminate it.
The relative easiness of an open floor plan means that the
space can be attuned how you perceive fit, perhaps with portable furniture or
storage. Just as the open plan allows you discover more flexibility, it also
gives you more space to exhibit your personality. The real attraction of a
Modern Home is all in the details - the art, the furniture, the individual
touches - which means it is a true reflection of you.
