Contemporary technique to put it simply is an unconventional design that suits the client/buyer’s specific taste or requirement. The popularity of this style can be credited to the advancement in technology and building methods. This includes the ability to build more challenging, precise, and unprecedented forms by designing computer-generated curves, employing laser-cutting technology, and 3D printing. Computer renderings give you glimpses of the future in hyper-realistic detail. Designs that seemed unachievable have now become a reality around the world, defying gravity and logic as boundaries of design and engineering get pushed. The features that make a contemporary style building stand out are free forms, unconventional volumes, rounded forms, asymmetrical designs, large windows, green roofs, living walls, integration with the surrounding landscape, and integrated customizable lighting. As said previously, this style has influences of other previously dominant styles like modern and traditional, combines them and creates something very efficient in form and function.

Another feature that makes this style so popular is the sustainability aspect. The use of recycled and natural materials and attention to eco-friendly water and temperature control building systems, which are energy-efficient, are seamlessly integrated into the design of the structure to attract the new-age homeowner. Along with this, the judicious use of the space, both interior, and exterior, to have dual functions, like a garden being turned into an open movie theatre is another prominent feature. Architects get the leeway to design freely and create homes with attractive design and smart home technology when it comes to this style. This is precisely the reason why contemporary style is going to rule the roost for a long time.
