Coastal Modernist Homes on Tour
September 29, 2012 |
Modernist is a revolutionary and energetic movement in art, design and architecture that began in the early 20th century. This was a time when many architects imagined a new beginning for building design. Modern design requires clear thinking about how we live and what is important in the landscapes and the buildings we create. Site characteristics such as a good view, native trees, the slope of the land, and proximity to neighbors all play a part in the design of the house. When designed well, the house and site together are a coordinated design. Modern houses often have abundant glass, taking in views and natural light, but even so, providing privacy where it is needed by careful planning.
