Live the Modern Lifestyle!

What is the difference between modern and contemporary architecture? At their most literal, “contemporary” is the architecture being produced now, the architecture of the moment. “Modern” architecture breaks with the past — specifically the traditional styles of before the Industrial Revolution.

Modern is always forward thinking and innovative as it started as a radical opposition to popular decorative movements of the early 19th century.

Contemporary seems to reflect a catch-all term for any design that is current and not directly referencing historical design styles.

Park City is a mecca for “mountain modern” homes by talented modernist architects such as Michael Upwall. The features of “modern mountain” architecture take their cues from design elements established long ago. This on-trend style embraces natural materials, lots of light, and indoor-outdoor living.  The once dense and dark mountain cabins have gone away with the advancements in technology, energy performance, and building, which now make it possible to build bigger windows and open up the space inside a home.  

Salt Lake has recently had a resurgence and buyer demand in mid-century modern homes and remodels. Mid-century modern is an architectural, interior, product and graphic design term that generally describes mid-20th century developments in modern design, architecture and urban development from roughly 1933 to 1965. This style reflects structures with ample windows and open floor-plans with the intention of opening up interior spaces and bringing the outdoors in. In this style, you will find post and beam architectural design that eliminated bulky support walls and introduced walls made of glass.
