UPHouse

The word "modern" has been destroyed in the architectural world. It is still used to describe buildings sixty to seventy years old. It is a word realtor's use rarely for houses. We live in a modern or "new" or "now" world, except when addressing contemporary design, which is anything but modern. Modern farmhouse sounds like a computerized or automatic milking barn. Contemporary farmhouse brings notions of a glass and metal structure glowing ethereally on a farm. Farmhouse is also misleading, many of these new residences will be built on lots previously occupied by split levels on a half acre lot. Current, linked, or Up-to-date are a bit clumsy, but more appropriate to our lifestyles and construction techniques. UPHouse is more appropriate. I intend to use this acronym for a truly contemporary residence. Up-to-date? Ultra-modern? Urgent? Urbane, yes, this is the right word, for the non-urban dwellings. Where will I focus this building style, Pennsylvania. Urbane Pennsylvania farmHouse; UPHouse.
