Oakley Home Builders - Modern and Contemporary Living

A common misconception is that modern and contemporary homes are stark and cold. Nothing could be further from the truth; this architecture may encourage one to cut down on clutter, but rustic accents, warm wood finishes and soft neutral tones add comfort and warmth to these spaces.

Oakley Home Builders recently completed a modern/contemporary home in Downers Grove.  To preserve the wooded garden and feeling of a private oasis, the large yard and trees were a must. The result celebrates modern design while keeping some of the character of the parklike setting.

Large contemporary windows let in the view while wood floors, wood trimwork and ceiling beams add comfort and a sense of history.  Accents like this stone fireplace surround bring organic elements indoors. Meanwhile, architectural choices give the home it's modern edge.

Granite countertops, dark wood cabinets and unique earth-toned tiles create a wonderful modern-rustic mashup in the kitchen.  Oakley Home Builders created a more contemporary feel with wood and stone materials adding a strong contrast to the creamy white painted drywall.

 As with every Oakley Home Builders home, we pay attention to the details.  We believe a client's dream can be played out beautifully in every home.  Contact Oakley Home Builders today to begin building your dream home.
