Box Modern Look

The box shape is foundational in modern architecture.

It's driven by the ethos "form follows function" where design is stripped back to pure form. A single box creates little interest. The arrangement and treatment of distinct box shapes is what makes the look compelling.

With Box Modern homes the cladding plays a more important role in aesthetic than the windows. Clean lines of vertical or horizontal cladding further distinguish each box shape.
