1. Use sharp lines and “square” surfaces. This isn’t especially hard with Minecraft’s block-based building system. An easy way to mimic this design style is to make your house’s walls different heights. It doesn’t matter if one or more of your walls go up past the roof — on a modern house, it counts as art!

• Many modern houses are designed to create clean, visually pleasing areas of contrast. They do this by incorporating many squares, rectangles, and straight lines into their exterior. Though it might seem like this would make the house look like a “jumble” of shapes, the actual effect is striking. This is a great way to add visual complexity to your house while still using an easy rectangular floor plan.

2. Pair clean white walls with natural materials. Finding wood and stone in Minecraft is easy. White building materials can be a little trickier — quartz, sandstone, wool, or lighter varieties of stone may be your best bet.[1]

• A common theme in modern house architecture is the connection between the orderly world of humans and the chaotic beauty of nature. Modern houses use often use numerous unadorned white concrete surfaces on the outside of the house to give it a “pristine” feel. Pairing these with panels or walls made from rich natural materials like wood and stone creates gorgeous contrast. More rarely, another neutral color like grey is used in place of white.

3. Have big glass windows. You’ll need lots of sand for this. Building your house on the beach gives you a scenic view and an easy source of sand for your windows. Don’t forget that you can always build multiple furnaces to speed up glass production!

• The famous Stahl House in the Hollywood hills shows off this design feature. The house’s numerous glass walls offer an amazing view and make it seem as if you’re living on a wide open cloud above Los Angeles — a one-of-a-kind experience.[2]
• Modern architects love using large, rectangular panes of glass. These allow you to give the occupants of your house a great view — a must if you’ve built your house somewhere cool. They also create the impression of clean, open spaces and can be used to form contrasting squares and rectangles on the outside of the house.

4. Don’t focus on symmetry. Feel free to indulge your imagination with your house’s shape. Standard “box and roof” constructions are to be avoided. Your house can be lopsided, uneven, or even outright bizarre-looking — it’s up to you.

• Real-life example: This modern house in Mexico exemplifies this trend. The main entrance and hallway are located off to the left, while the big, boxy structure on the right looms over the rest of the house. The way it juts out creates a powerful impression — it’s almost intimidating.
• Homes and mansions from past eras often strove to create grand, awe-inspiring symmetry (see: the Palace of Versailles).[3] Modern homes sometimes do the same thing with the opposite approach. Many modern houses seem to deliberately go out of their way not to be symmetrical, challenging the viewer with their lopsided designs.

5. Keep interiors un-cluttered. The insides of modern houses are usually designed to give the effect of large, open spaces. Use clean neutral-colored floors and natural materials like wood and stone to create the same sorts of spacious contrast that you used for the outside of the house. Simple stairs, high ceilings, minimal furniture, and glass openings to awnings and balconies can enhance this effect.

• Have a wall without many windows? Show off your modern, artsy sensibility by showing off a selection of paintings. You can craft one from eight wooden sticks around a block of wool (any color).

6. Add a (square or rectangular) pool. Modern houses often seem to have a pool in the backyard — perhaps it’s because this allows architects to play with an additional surface, adding a new dimension to their design. Don’t forget that you’ll need a bucket or two and a source of water if you want to fill your pool. You can craft a bucket from three iron ingots arranged in a “V” at the bottom of the crafting box.

• Real-life example:This gorgeous mansion in Brazil has a simple but elegant rectangular pool mere steps away from an offset rectangular entertainment area — the perfect example of modern luxury.[5]
• Use a square or rectangular shape blocks for your pool so that it matches the right angles of the house. Keep it level with the ground.
