Doesn't the author actually mean postmodern? "Modern home" architecture is from the early-mid 20th century.
If you're looking to build a home, do yourself a favor and watch Essential Craftsman's Spec House series (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn4L_aJ1rV4&list=PLRZePj70B4...). Your eyeballs will grow wider and wider with all the considerations, but you'll be better informed for it.
Modern is usually referring to mid-20th century in terms of style. Post-modern doesn’t include everything after that — it’s kind of a mess to describe but probably the simplest explanation is that post-modernism is a reaction to modernism. It’s a style full of visual puns, and structural manifestations of literary criticism.
“Contemporary” is the more generic umbrella term for things that are modern with a lowercase “m”.
Of course, nobody agrees on what Postmodernism is so please feel free to tell me why I’m wrong :)
