Our blog dedicated to all the modern things you might find helpful in the building of your new modern house: furniture, appliances, building materials, etc.

How to read our Modern House Plans:

Here is a legend for a few of the symbols in our plans that should make their reading a little easier for you. Since we design a lot of fun details and innovative spatial layouts, there might be a lot of information in out plans that you might have trouble deciphering. Send us note and we will explain.

Cool Modern House Plans is the online shopping site for Dialect Design’s pre-designed house plans.

All plans are developed in house by Dialect Design as a nation-wide offer and cost-effective alternative to their local design-build services

Helpful Hints on Modern House Plans:

To help you with the construction process after receiving our drawings, please read through the following suggestions:

• If you don’t have a builder yet, and need some help choosing one, this set of articles from Dwell Magazine is quite informative: http://www.dwell.com/articles/an-introduction-to-contractors.html

• Consider to have the set of drawings reviewed by a locally licensed engineer for regional requirements. In some building jurisdictions it might be required.

• Do familiarize yourself with the construction drawings to the best of your ability to engage with builders and lending institutions.

• As any modern design can unnecessarily raise a red flag for traditional builders we also offer continuous support services. Our starting package is a $450 service that offers 3 full hours of telephone and email support that can be used by customers and contractors alike. Through it we offer pre-construction contractor contract review for the customer, pre-construction plan review with contractors, material and manufacturer research, appliance research, interior design considerations, and site and construction specific detail development.

Closets:

Closet spaces are most often indicated with a dashed line about 14 inches off the wall. They represent shelving above. Here you can also see a standard set of sliding doors

Windows:

We show our windows with this simple symbol. The two outer lines represent the window sill edges and the center line the glass panel. The real window will look a little different

Panel Doors:

We occasionally use panel doors. These are large floor-to-ceiling panels hung of a track. They are placed in front of a wall opening. Almost like a barn door
