Bauhaus clarity in a modern house
This composition is defined by simple geometric volumes, flat or low-pitched roofs, and an emphasis on function over ornament. It often uses smooth stucco, rendered masonry, steel, glass, and occasional timber accents, with crisp details and exposed structural logic. The palette is usually restrained: white, black, gray, and muted earthy tones.
