Be Inspired Less is more when seeking modern design inspiration A minimalist approach takes precedence when designing modern. Modern homes offer structural beauty mixed with simple building materials. Often, design inspiration can be taken from the smaller details that stand out against the starkness. Architectural inspiration can be found from interior accents, pops of color and basic geometric patterns. Where to look for inspiration in 2016... Neutral color palates that offers bold primary color accents. Furniture with functional lines and curves. Visual expressions of structure. Simple patterns with geometric shapes. Large windows that bring outdoor living inside. 6

Warm + Cool Contrasting tones create interest Modern design is created from structural simplicity, but adding variety with contrasting tones often takes modern to the next level. When using cool concrete block, wood can be added for a touch of warmth. The contrast is jaw-dropping and encourages the architectural details to shine through. Adding warm materials to cool ones is a modern feature that stands out. 2 3 1. EmpireBlock 2. VintageWood Bark 3. RoughSawn Tobacco VintageWood Cedar EmpireBlock 11

Warming up stark spaces Even minimalist spaces need an element to catch the eye. If you are not leaning in the way of color to add variety to a project, using a different material can give you the interest you need. The gray tones of block and concrete are beautiful, but with a hint of warm wood added, the design feels high-end and extremely well-executed. The architectural world is embracing wood as an organic element that balances the coldness of other materials. - Kristin Butler, Interior Designer, Kristin Butler Design 1.

Design elements that are important in a modern home are clean lines, both on the exterior and interior of the home. I firmly believe Form follows Function, especially when I am designing homes along the coast and I work very hard to bring the views into the home. I make sure the design captures panoramic views with large, geometric windows and open floor plans for all the living spaces." " - Damien Busillo, AIA, NCARB, President of DLB Custom Home Design 1 14

Concrete...Perfectly imperfect in every way The look of concrete is a feature that many modern homes boast. Architects are embracing industrial materials in modern design applications. Designers are not only using concrete for it stark and sleek appearance, but also for its industrial feel. It is an imperfect material that still provides the clean lines and basic shapes modern home architects are after. Concrete cladding is perfect for modern interiors, offering a step above exposed brick. It carries modern design from the outside in. The look of concrete works well with or without the dimples. 3 4 5 1. EmpireBlock 3. EmpireBlock EmpireBlock 2. EmpireBlock IndustrialBlock 4. 5. 17

Discover the possibilities of texture... The sharp angles of modern architecture allow textured cladding materials to be easily incorporated while still retaining a clean feel. Spacious and simple modern designs often use texture to add depth. Textured materials are visually stimulating and beg to be touched. The texture adds life to minimalist spaces and brings a sense of warmth and comfort. Texture allows a modern home to have a clean design without being too sterile. 3 4 1. 2.

The Power of Color Bold pops of color... the perfect complement to modern architecture Color can play an important role in modern home design. The general color tone used in modern homes is neutral. However, there is often a pop of color that catches the eye and stands out against the sleek landscape. Bold, primary colors are used in modern homes as accents on doors and walls with the color creating interest while the neutral tones maintain the clean design. Bold colors also highlight the basic shapes and angles of modern architecture. 1 20

Making a Statement with Window Design Windows serve as both an accent and main attraction when it comes to modern design. For window accents, it is important that the cladding material offers flexibility for unique cuts and window detailing. The more options for window sizes and patterns, the better. Windows are also used as a major feature to bring the outdoors inside. They often create indoor/outdoor living spaces that are very popular in modern design. 3 Windows are very important t o modern design, not only because windows provide proper proportion and eye movement direction in the building elevations, but also because they provide natural light, air and view to indoor spaces."

Mixing Materials on Modern Multiple products, one beautiful modern home Modern homes often mix cladding material styles against the straight architectural lines of the home. Homes incorporate the look of block or concrete and then mix accents of wood and stone. Having an array of materials helps a modern home stand out and look high-end. The smallest details matter when it comes to modern and mixing materials helps make the design. 1 26 1. Illumination Custom Color 2. VintageWood Cedar
