Custom homes come in many shapes, sizes, and styles. After all, they’re custom. But even with each home having its own quirks to meet the unique needs of its owner, there are some things that custom homes have in common with each other, especially in a particular category.
Modern custom homes have a few key characteristics that tend to place them in the modern category. Here are some of them:
- Smart Home Systems – A modern appearance is usually matched with modern functionality. Smart home systems allow homeowners to control their air conditioning and heating, lighting, window shades or curtains, music, and security from a central panel or with remotes and voice command.
- Energy-Efficient Design – Modern custom homes often prioritize energy efficiency and eco-friendliness. They might have ENERGY STAR certified appliances, top-quality insulation, natural materials, and energy-efficient windows and doors.
- Open Concept Floor Plans – Modern custom homes usually have open concept floor plans rather than closed concept floor plans, offering a more spacious, fluid living space and encouraging social interaction.
- Natural Light – Skylights and strategically placed windows offer natural sunlight, creating a home that feels larger and brighter rather than cozy or moody.
