The Class and Clean Lines of Contemporary Design
Whether you’re moved by today’s cutting-edge architects, or envision something ultramodern, even futuristic, we can make that a reality.
And though you may think we lean towards the rustic aesthetic, we also appreciate the qualities of modern design, because it really allows you to make a statement of individuality. Modern homes inspire, innovate, and appeal to that part of us that looks to the future for inspiration!
And you may think that timber frames would clash with the clean, minimalist appeal of modern style. However, contemporary or modern homes also benefit from the use of post and beam construction, especially when creating large, open floor plans.
When we employ a contemporary design, we typically use less exposed wood, creating contrast between painted walls and simple trim details. Modern cabinets, stone and glass tiles and counters, subtle paint shades, totally unique bath fixtures, all these can enhance the sleek, architectural feel of a modern home.
We can also omit trim elements altogether, if you want the overall design to speak for itself. Doors, cabinetry, and wood grain can play into the design in an uncluttered fashion.
With the resources and products currently available, anything is possible.

Many modern home owners also want the latest technology incorporated into their house. Remote controls, themed lighting and custom sound systems are just a few of the requests we’ve had over the years.
We always welcome new ideas, and it’s usually a fun challenge, finding ways to add all these modern finishing touches.
It takes extra care, and coordination between trades, and guess what, this is our specialty! No request is too far-fetched or outlandish. If you’re forward thinking and your dream home includes the latest in technology, you will need the leadership and experience of a company such as Old Mill Builders.
