Modern and contemporary house plans are inspired by the early 20th-century’s “Art Deco” or “Streamline Moderne” styles. Some of these modern house plans include a variety of exterior façades and interior floor plans. Structures with flat rooflines, large expanses of glass, open floor plans, and minimal ornamentation give a modern home an airy feel.

The exterior of a small Art Deco home often features streamlined features, a low-pitched roof, and an symmetrical facade. Inside, details like built-in cabinetry, attractive steel balustrades, and central skylights were popular amongst 1940s and 1950s homeowners.Small House Plans | Home Designs | Plan Collections
