About Contemporary Style Homes:

Contemporary homes often have a single roof pitch or flat roofs. Solar heating, windows that are up high, transoms and a lot of wood features are common. Contemporary homes include geometric forms with the use of glass block and pipe railings. Large over hangs, split levels, large amounts of fixed glass, and unique wood and stone facings are common. Exteriors tend to be very plain and interior rooms are often very open floor plans. Many contemporary home features have made their way into country or traditional home designs.
