We have built modern homes in Connecticut inspired by visionary architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, seamlessly blending clean lines and innovative design with sustainable practices. Whether you are looking to build a sleek contemporary residence or a more organic, modern interpretation, we can bring your vision to life.
Combining tradition and modernity
You might think that timber frames and modern design clash. But at Old Mill Builders, we’ve found a way to make them work beautifully in modern homes in Connecticut. We’ve successfully integrated post and beam construction in modern projects. To keep the look contemporary, we often minimize the amount of exposed wood. This creates a striking contrast with simple trim and painted walls. Then, we incorporate modern elements like glass, stone countertops and tiles, contemporary fixtures, and subtle paint colors to complete the desired aesthetic. This approach allows us to blend the structural advantages of timber framing with the clean, minimalist look of modern design.
Let the design speak for itself
Modern home design often favors a clean and uncluttered aesthetic. In these cases, simplifying trim details and instead focusing on the natural wood grain, doors, and cabinetry can actually enhance the overall design and deliver a stronger visual impact.
You can rely on us to use our expertise in post and beam construction to build energy-efficient and striking modern homes in Connecticut. We maximize the natural insulating properties of timber to reduce your home’s heating and cooling costs while making it comfortable.
Incorporate modern conveniences
Our modern homes are ready for the latest technology. They are designed to make it easier to install custom sound systems, themed lighting, and remote controls. If you have new ideas, feel free to discuss them with us, and we will work with you to make them happen!
