Within Mountain Modern, the blend of simple, flat, angular roof lines of the Prairie style and the Farmhouse appeal and elements make it difficult to distinguish a definitive design.
Below, this house leans towards the Modern Prairie architectural style by making the flat, angular roof line its focal point. Another prominent Prairie feature is the sturdy vertical lines of the outdoor wood beams and large, vertical windows. The natural stone exterior, wood garage doors, and large wrap-around porch create an updated farmhouse appeal within this obvious contemporary home.
The home design below definitely favors a Contemporary Farmhouse architecture by utilizing vertical metal siding and large windows. Missing some of the country charm and softness of a traditional farmhouse, it favors the contrast of horizontal/vertical so favored by the fan of modern lines and reflects the adaptation of elements found within the Modern Prairie look.
