Rate These Modern House Designs, And We’ll Reveal A Dream Home!

At the turn of the 20th century, as modern designs slowly began to infiltrate the architectural zeitgeist, many viewed them as overly simple, gratuitous and even - dare we say - boring. After all, at the time, people were comparing these foreign, experimental designs to classical, highly detailed and much more circular ones.

Fast forward to the present day and what do we see? Straight lines layered over straighter lines; wall to wall, ceiling to ceiling glass; and large open spaces to inhabit rather than several intricately segmented rooms. In the broadest sense, one could argue that simplification is the progressive trend when it comes to things like language, music and of course, architecture.

Sure, modern home designs aren't for everyone. Many people (like a certain, friendly neighborhood quiz maker over here) still enjoy seeing a lush, beautifully detailed, renaissance style building. But there's a certain sharpness to modern styles that even the most resolute neighborhood quiz maker can hardly resist. And we're sure we're not alone in that aspect.

As we go through this quiz, we'll find out which modern designs are the sharpest of the lot. Based on these choices, we'll have a great idea of a certain lucky quiz taker's dream home. Whether that dream will ever become reality, only time will tell.

Question 1

Rate this house

There's no better way to start off a modern home quiz than with this lovely number right here - a comprehensive, wide-ranging design, obviously with plenty of parts to it. Is this a spectacular modern home we're looking at, or what?

Question 2

Rate this house

Modernity in terms of home design is a category that can be split into several subcategories itself, much like this house is split into two parts. Is it better to live in the unit on the left or the right? Guess what - you can have both!

Question 3

Rate this house

Here is a wide modern home build, albeit a bit short. This is one of those one floor modern designs that's been all the rage in the past few years. The good news is that there's no need to go up and down stairs. Isn't that a fine perk?

Question 4

Rate this house

Here is an assortment of squares and rectangles melded together to form a house, with a semi triangular shape serving as one of the roofs. If this home isn't a modern one, we're not quite sure what would be. How does it look?

Question 5

Rate this house

This next unit is a more contemporary take on the modern format - the edges are sharp and the interior space is obviously open, but it's a great deal more cosier than some of the higher fashion homes in here. What rating does it get?

Question 6

Rate this house

As far as we're concerned, this house is at the top of the tier list when it comes to modern design. Featuring a number of tiers in itself, there's enough space to accommodate all family members of the house and they're guests, for sure.

Question 7

Rate this house

Now, this next modern home design is a real gem and a half - and just look at that entry way! Obviously situated in a greener part of town, this looks like the very best way to live among nature in serious style. Is this a home or what?

Question 8

Rate this house

This modern house would have looked quite complete if it were just its bottom half, but that top insertion really takes things to the next level. If you work from home, that top addition can be your office space while the bottom is your living one.

Question 9

Rate this house

Now that is a lot of glass, even for a modern house design. Of course, when it comes to this style of house building, the more glass the merrier - though not in all cases, for sure. Here, though, the glass seems just fine.

Question 10

Rate this house

This next modern build looks like it's been brought to us straight from the future. Personally, we give this one top scores in terms of its modernity, and we'd really like to see what it looks like inside! Must be ultra futuristic, for sure.

Question 11

Rate this house

Well, we're not even sure what we're looking at here. This house is modern, for sure, but there are more than a few eclectic elements that give the vibe a whole new spin. If you know what we're talking about, then you must know design.

Question 12

Rate this house

Now that is one fine modern house if ever we've seen one before. In fact, the aesthetics of the project are mind blowing enough to take our breath away. This just might be the best house so far, but you might disagree.

Question 13

Rate this house

Again, we find ourselves with a modern home design that's been given quite the refreshing contemporary spin. In fact, we're not sure if this house is more modern than it is contemporary, but it's modern enough to appear here.

Question 14

Rate this house

If ever you were looking for a modern mansion with an in-ground pool, you might run into this little gem of a number at some point in your search. Owners can do a number of things in a house like this, though we won't list them all.

Question 15

Rate this house

Once again, we find ourselves perplexed with this particular modern home design. All the ingredients of modernity are present, for sure, but what is that odd spherical hole cut out in the ceiling there? This is a special design indeed.

Question 16

Rate this house

For homeowners looking for something quaint, comfy yet easy on the eyes of modern home design fans, then this unit might be the one for you. If nothing else, it shows a fantastic usage of the color green. Isn't this design golden?

Question 17

Rate this house

This huge modern home is our lucky number seventeenth, and it's a worthy feature, for sure. With the Earth tones serving as its initial impression, things must only get more vivid and vibrant inside. At least, we'd hope they do.

Question 18

Rate this house

It's cold outside, but fear not - we're sure we'll be invited into this lovely house for some hot cocoa any minute now. If you had a house like this one, you probably wouldn't mind hanging around the cold climate for a while.

Question 19

Now that we have our modern sunglasses on, we can get close and take a really good look at this next super modern household. Once again, we've found ourselves with a mansion - and a modern one at that.

Question 21

This modern design is a tad less intimidating than the last, which is what might be beckoning you to it. Or maybe you just really like simple, efficient home designs. Either way, let's see which button you go with.

Question 22

Rate this house

This next house is quite a feast for the senses - particularly the eyes. With its clever use of color and its seamless blending of shapes, any homeowner would be lucky to find him or herself living in this one. Don't you agree?

Question 23

Rate this house

After an array of elaborate, clearly generously budgeted modern home designs, we find ourselves with a much simpler one here. Of course - especially when it comes to modern - simpler does not mean worse, by any stretch.

Question 24

Rate this house

Good thing our modern sunglasses are still on our faces, otherwise we'd have lost our vision at the sight of this modern behemoth. This is a house that only the most serious of ballers can call home, and that's a fact.

Question 25

Rate this house

Depending on your taste, you either love or hate the colors being featured in this modern design. Of course, we're referring to the use of red in particular - definitely not everyone's cup of tea when it comes to home design.

Question 26

Rate this house

Let's take a little trip down to suburbia, where modernity is swallowing up the trends bit by bit, at an ever increasing rate. There's no need to complain about suburban life when you can spend it nuzzled in the confines of this beauty.

Question 27

Rate this house

There's no reason why a traditional, country style home can't be given a welcome modern twist. This house shows that all you need to flip the impression of an old lot is to switch up the facade with some neat glass and stone.

Question 28

Rate this house

There's a lot happening in this house, as you can somewhat see through the frosted glass. This one definitely looks good on the outside, but the owners might be bothered by the relative lack of privacy. What rating is best here?

Question 29

Rate this house

Although this house looks grandiose and stoic, we're quite impressed by the practical and conservative usage of materials in its exterior. Ergonomics and modernity go hand in hand, so we'll give this one a good score.

Question 30

Rate this house

With its nearly all white facade, this house stands out quite nicely amid the rest. Homeowners interested in the color palette and design choices featured here will probably give this one a high rating, though they wouldn't be forced to.

Question 31

Rate this house

This next multi- (and we do mean multi-) tiered household is another marvel to behold. Whoever the lucky homeowner is here, we're tempted to ask if there's an extra room we can claim. Probably not, though...

Question 32

Rate this house

When you see a modern marvel of a home like this, you simply have to stop for a while and take in its aesthetic splendor. With its neutral, earth tone-centric color palette, it welcomes all guests regardless of their design preferences.

Question 33

Rate this house

The main ingredients of this next modern home are as follows: glass, glass and more glass. Though there's probably a bit of wood and stone thrown into the mix... regardless of its competition, let's see what rating this home deserves.

Question 34

Rate this house

Who says that modern homes need to be super flashy? The owner of this one certainly doesn't think so. It's rare that such a modern design appears so inviting, so we're sure this unit will get as good a rating as there is.

Question 35

Rate this house

Well, isn't that one heck of a sight to behold? We're not sure how this house will remain upright, but we certainly hope it will. At least it appears to be built perfectly straight, and it looks quite nice as far as modern homes go.

Question 36

Rate this house

This huge establishment looks like it could be used as a school - or one heck of a luxurious modern home. Whether the owner is in the education business or not, this house is definitely one of the most impressive units in here.

Question 37

Rate this house

Speaking of impressive, we're not even sure what to make of this next design. It looks almost too perfect and luxurious to be a place of residence - usually, this level of style is reserved for fancy hotels. What a place this is.

Question 38

Rate this house

We're down to the final three homes in this list, so let's make them count. First up is this quaint, country style house, perfect for weekend getaways or to live in indefinitely. If asked for notes on improvement here, we wouldn't be able to provide anyway.

Question 39

Rate this house

The shape of this house can give rise to a certain, cosmic conspiracy theory, but we'll speak no more of that here. Despite what's going on subliminally, you can't help but agree that this is a super nice modern home design.

Question 40

Rate this house

We'll close this quiz off with another triangular house, since this quiz has been dominated by quadrilaterals. Before we unlock your dream home, let's get one final rating on this quaint modern design. It's time for the big reveal.
