There's a Lack of Ornamentation.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows and open floor plan allow natural light to pour into this house. Because there is such little ornamentation in modern architecture, the actual shape of the building is what makes it feel unique, cutting edge, and beautiful.

Modern Homes Often Have Asymmetrical Shapes.

Modern architecture incorporates personality and intrigue through overall shape since it lacks decorative details. That's where asymmetry comes in. Like a work of modern art, the home looks different, depending on the angle.

Combine Large-Scale Shapes.

Everything in this living room is playing with shape. While the marble mantle and glossy floating shelves are angular and sharp, the coffee table and ottoman are soft and rounded. The use of natural materials makes the room feel rich even though there's not much in it.
