Many modern homes and condos are going up left and right in Austin, with local design and build companies behind the new residences. New modern homes are also different from traditional homes in both their exterior curb appeal, with large walls of glass, concrete and wood, as well as their modern and minimalist interiors. Those looking for a modern home are more into architecture and would prefer a home that makes more of an artistic statement than a traditional home. Also the growing popularity of magazines like Dwell, and house and home decor websites and blogs like Apartment Therapy, cultivate interest in unique modern homes and modern Austin condos.
In general, large home builders are sticking to traditional housing, since the demand for such homes hasn’t gone away, and much of the population would consider modern homes ugly, uninviting, or resembling a dentist’s office. Also building tract homes is easy and fast, since there are limited floor plans, and building sites are already plotted out.
