I would have gone a little more mid-century modern with more natural elements... but passing by, the color of the home helps to recess or set-back the house.<br /><br />I'm yet to find newer suburbs doing contemporary... they usually mimic colonial and American Four Square! This house would not be out of the ordinary east of Clark, but right on the lakefront park system is something.
