Seeking a small home design with contemporary curb appeal? Explore our collection of modern house plans under 1,500 sq. ft. below!
Modern house plans typically offer straight, vertical lines with minimal ornamentation. This lack of detailing and decoration can sometimes cut down on building costs while also creating clean, contemporary curb appeal. Outdoor living space and big windows are also common characteristics of modern-style homes, both of which can cut down on heating and lighting expenses once the house is built.
Modern homes tend to showcase bold curb appeal, and if that's your thing, great! But if you prefer more traditional architecture, and/or are building in a traditionally-designed neighborhood, a modern-style home might be too over-the-top.
Costs! In general, smaller homes are cheaper to build and maintain than larger designs. Having said that, lots of things factor into cost to build, such as location, the market, and material choices.

Space! If you're building a home for a large family, you'll probably need more than 1,500 sq. ft. of heated living space. Having said that, you'll notice many of the plans below sport smart, contemporary design choices that can help make a smaller space feel larger than it actually is. Look for open layouts, vaulted ceilings, large windows, and outdoor living spaces.
