Modern architects are incredibly fond of lines and in many designs, strong linear elements, as well as bold vertical and horizontal features will be found. Posts, roof lines, beams, windows and other structural elements all work to help the architect in creating a linear-inspired area. This focus has much more prominence in modern architecture and is less important in traditionally made buildings.

As opposed to going for the more traditional craftsman style or triangular-based roof lines, modern architecture has dared to push the metaphorical envelope on roofing designs. Houses may possess numerous roof lines at different levels, which show off the overall design’s complexity and the silhouette of the structure. This can produce a wonderful effect.

Differing lines and elongated vault ceilings, in addition to unusual linear elements or interesting overhangs are mixed to create a more expressive statement. This focus on the house’s exterior design is one of the highlighted characteristics of modern design. The house doesn’t only exist to act as someone’s home; it is a sculptural and artistic statement.
