Modern Design Inspiration: a Simple Shed Roof

Simple = Beautiful. We believe modern residential architecture should be simple, simplified and elegant. Today’s Modern Design Inspiration presents 7 beautiful modern houses, each with a simple shed roof.

“Less, but better. My aim is to omit everything superfluous so that the essential is shown to the best possible advantage.” — Dieter Rams

Note: We have included a link to each architect’s website for the houses posted below. Please click through for more information and photos. The houses are simple and quite stunning.
