Modern European style
This concept is not so much a specific architectural style as a certain set of criteria. Strictly speaking, all the trends that emerged after modernity belong to the new time: constructivism, minimalism, hi-tech, art deco. In their pure form, modern European architects rarely use them for the construction of residential buildings.
You can highlight the common external features that distinguish the best European houses:
- pragmatism, architectural "simplification", no frills in the decoration of the facade;
- a simple rectangle shape, with a flat or low gable roof;
- in the design there are no obvious signs of historical styles (Baroque, Empire);
- tendency to decrease in the number of storeys, horizontal forms, asymmetry of appearance;
- large balconies, panoramic windows, terraces and built-in garages;
- natural or imitating their external and internal finishing materials.
But the most important thing in European houses is a comfortable layout for life, the presence of modern engineering solutions in terms of energy saving and ecology.
