What is Modern House Plans?
Modern house plans provide a great option to the more traditional styles. Even if you don’t want to go all the way with an ultra-modern house plan, there are many modern-inspired house plans that are not too extreme in their appearance.
Modern house plans include a range of styles, ranging from the stereotypical “concrete, steel, and glass” look to subtle or exaggerated variations of historically older house plan styles.
“Contemporary house plans” is also the synonym that’s regularly used for modern house plans. Contemporary house plans, which exactly a subcategory of modern house plans, seems to express best what most people would naturally describe as “modern”.
Technically, the following styles are all modern styles:
- Craftsman
- Bungalow

- Art Deco/Art Moderne
- A-Frame

Finding modern house plans can be a bit challenging because of the loose definition of the term, but after a few initial searches you should get a feel for which sites have better offerings than others. Keep in mind that a site with the largest number of plans is not necessarily the best resource.
There are professional designers focusing on modern plans, who may recommend you more fascinating and personal designs and cheaper service. But to reach those smaller studios requires a bit more digging.
