It looks as though the modern farmhouse trend is going to stick around for quite some time but there are some other Popular Architectural Styles coming into play.

2. Traditional Farmhouse
3. Modern Glass House
4. Tudor Style
You probably hear people identify this asymmetrical style of architecture by one word—Tudor—but Tudor Revival may be more accurate.
5. Contemporary Set in Nature
When imagining a home set in a natural landscape, a lodge or ranch architectural style may spring to mind. But more and more contemporary house plans are being built in natural settings. The contrast between the stark geometry of a modern-style home and the soft lines of nature appeals to many designers and homebuyers. The term contemporary architecture is also applied to a range of styles of recently built structures and space which are optimized for current use. The concept of modernism is a central theme in the efforts of 20th century modern architecture. Gaining global popularity especially after the Second World War, architectural modernism was adopted by many architects and architectural educators, and continued as a dominant architectural style for institutional and corporate buildings into the 21st century.

Building a custom home should be an experience marked by excitement, creativity, and complete trust in the team guiding you through it.

At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, we’ve earned a reputation for building exceptional homes for discerning families across the nation. Many of our clients come to us after working with firms that didn’t meet their standards—and they’re often relieved to find the level of service, detail, and sophistication they expected from the start.
