Modest Contemporary Living of a Private Residence in Elwood

There are times that contemporary and modern design is defined similarly, but the truth is there is a difference between the two words. Modern design of architecture refers to modernist- a movement that takes place in the early 20th century. While on the other hand, contemporary is the definition of the architecture happening at this very moment. Contemporary approach is defined by strong lines, smooth forms and minimal accessories. The designs usually provide an abundant open space and natural light and colors. To understand more about contemporary design, take a look unto this featured house for today.
