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.

6. True Original

Now we know that Houzzers like traditional, and they like a modern take on a farmhouse, a classic farmhouse, Tudor style, modern and contemporary. But Houzzers also like the unclassifiable. With its contemporary angles and nods to more traditional styles. It doesn’t represent a trend; it represents being unique.

The True Value of In-House Design-Build: A Perspective from Arizona’s Top Luxury Builder

By Angelo Fratantoni • September 3, 2026

The process of building a custom legacy estate is often romanticized, yet for the discerning investor, it remains a serious financial undertaking. Many individuals embark on creating a custom home anticipating an inspiring journey, only to find themselves managing fragmented teams, conflicting schedules, and escalating budgets. The industry standard approach relies on assembling a disparate team of architects, builders, and designers, often from entirely different firms. While this method can produce beautiful results, it inherently introduces friction. At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, our philosophy diverges from this fractured model. We recognize that true luxury is not merely found in the final aesthetic, but in the precision, efficiency, and seamless execution of the entire endeavor. By unifying the core disciplines under one roof, we provide our clientele with a streamlined, financially sound path to realizing their vision. This integrated approach is not just a matter of convenience; it is a strategic advantage that fundamentally alters the financial trajectory of a custom build.
