The contemporary style is not a reflection of a particular era, nor is it subject to the constraints of architectural trends, but reinvents itself according to the zeitgeist, using the construction techniques and materials of the time.
Discover how Polimmo la Maison breathes contemporary style into its single-family homes.
The characteristics of a contemporary house
The contemporary home embodies innovation and modernity, while promoting functional design. It offers its occupants an aesthetic and practical living environment. Its exterior design and interior layout reflect current trends in both style and technology.
The outside of the contemporary house
You can recognise a contemporary-style house not only by its geometry and clean lines, but also by the way it blends into its surroundings and the materials used in its construction.
Geometric shapes
The contemporary house is made up of straight lines, cubic or rectangular volumes and, in most cases, a flat roof. Large openings to the outside (windows, bay windows) let in light to reduce energy consumption. The whole structure, often painted white, has a clean, unadorned look.
Successful integration into the environment
Often accompanied by a landscaped garden, the contemporary house blends in perfectly with its surroundings, as its architecture remains simple and open to the outside world thanks to its large windows.
The use of modern, durable materials
For the construction of contemporary single-family homes, the emphasis is on sustainable, high-performance materials, without sacrificing aesthetics! We favour the use of materials such as natural wood, glass and steel, as well as innovative, environmentally-friendly composite materials.
Inside, some minimalism and light
The main concepts in the interior design of a contemporary home are minimalism, luminosity and integrated technology!
A minimalist style
As with the exterior architecture, the interior of a contemporary home aims for simplicity, using uncluttered materials such as concrete, metal or glass and soothing colours.
Space and light
The contemporary house is characterised by large living areas, with few partitions between spaces (between the lounge, living room and kitchen, for example) to encourage conviviality. The large picture windows let in plenty of natural light.
The contribution of technology
The contemporary style keeps pace with the times, with today's homes incorporating the latest technological advances in everything from sound and heat insulation to heating and security.
A contemporary house is therefore a building with clean, geometric shapes, well integrated into its surroundings, built using sustainable, modern materials and promoting open spaces and light, with the support of the latest technologies.
