We hope you find our selection of ultra modern and contemporary house plans as cool as us. Do not hesitate to give us a call or send us an email for any questions or ideas you might have.

Welcome to Dialect Design’s modern house plans. At Dialect Design we believe that modernity must be more than skin deep. We design with the focus on quality.

When viewing our modern and contemporary home plans look for • flexible zones that adapt to different life styles • semi-translucent walls that transform a garage into a Japanese lantern • sliding partitions • juxtaposing spaces • separate entries and autonomous kitchenettes • roof terraces that offer views of a city skyline or a countryside • spaces that blur the line between the inside to the outside.

If you have the need for specific qualities that you miss in our European style house plans, please visit our “commission a design” page or drop us a line.

3/21/09: How To Go About Creating Your Next House With Our Contemporary Home Plans!

So, you are ready to live in a contemporary home and you wonder what exactly are the steps involved to get there. And let’s say you browsed through our selection of contemporary home plans and don’t know what exactly to do with it. Well, here is a quick overview.

It really is easy; you start with a bundle of cash, or at least a discussion with a construction loan and mortgage broker or lender. I f you are not sure where to go, start with your bank. They will be able to provide you with their own offers or suggestions where to go. Shop around. Different lenders have different offers. And a good Broker can offer you a good range and the best deal. Ask for a construction loan that can be rolled into a standard mortgage after construction is finished. After your interviews you will know what price range for your future contemporary home is available to you.

The next step is for you to find a home for your modern house; that is a property. Note the specs in our selection of contemporary home plans. We specify the width and length of the house. Many locations come with zoning ordinances that ask for a certain distance your home has to have to your property lines. These restrictions are called setbacks, side yards and rear yards. So be aware of how big your house can be.

The real fun part is now to shop for your own contemporary home plans. Browse our selection and familiarize yourself with each modern home plan. Look at the full floor plans and try to imagine yourself living in each house.

Once you have chosen your set of contemporary home plans, proceed to the check out procedure. You can pay with your credit card online or your PayPal account. As of today our prices are all inclusive, you will receive six sets of construction drawings by mail. These sets will be necessary for finalizing your financing and getting started on construction.

Next up you can get ready to build your own new contemporary home. Find a builder that you feel comfortable with. Ask several different contractors for an estimate. You have to be comfortable with their prices and their quality of work. Take your time and asked them all the questions you have. Make sure that they understand our contemporary home plans well and ask them to give us a call for any specific question. The more comfortable they are the better their price.

And then you just have to be excited while you watch your contemporary home coming into being. Be patient during the construction. If you are still wary about the whole process, contact us.

3/18/09: The Art of Modern House Plans!

We draw great inspiration in the design of our modern house plans from our involvement in contemporary art. Too often architecture and the building industry find themselves reduced to a process of piling up materials and mitigating restrictions and building codes. We believe, however, that we are involved in the creation of spaces and built environments that bring riches to your daily life.

We spend the majority of our lives within our manmade surroundings. And we draw great strength from our private and public settings. We need to pay great attention to the quality of those spaces. A quality that deals with warmth, cozy protection, with a sense of timeless comfort, and with the yearning for memories lived. It is a quality that comes from meeting habits and the engagements of life. It works with your senses; tactile, visual and sound. To meet these strong needs we work on and stay innovative in the selection of materials, their textures and sensual strength. We incorporate the play of light into our modern house plans, to let light and shadows create patterns, where warmth is needed, and keep direct sunlight out, where glare needs to be reduced. We take a close look at circulation patterns and proximity of certain areas of use. We fine-tune spatial qualities, the proportions of spaces. We incorporate structural elements of the building into these considerations to have exposed beams or posts help shape these environments appropriately.

To bring these qualities to our modern house plans, we consider our work that of an art. We have to start with a specific set of skills and then use it to create a lived piece of art that transcends practicalities and reaches a very real felt importance in the lives of our customers. To do so we learn from the great contemporary art that surrounds us and we are involved with. Surprisingly, the professional degrees of architecture in the US are called Bachelor of Art in Architecture. All licensed architect have acquired that degree. And yet, the art seems to be dropped too often and too quickly in the work and endeavors we found ourselves in.

We certainly hope we serve you well with our approach and are creating true pieces of art in the selection of modern house plans we offer. Have a look!
