Maybe you've seen this gorgeous home floating around your Pinterest feed. Between the large windows, contrasting color and striking profile - it's hard to resist. This contemporary take on the traditional Tudor style proves there's an exception to every rule.

Tudor style homes are loosely based on early English building traditions that range from simple folk houses to late medieval palaces, emerging in the United States around 1890. Details were often borrowed from Renaissance, Prairie and Craftsman styles.

Signature items of the Tudor style such as embellished doorways, bay windows and transom windows above doors are much larger and more contemporized than what one normally imagines for this style. The larger window combinations modernize the home and allow an abundance of natural light to illuminate every room.
