Cape Cod
A Cape Cod house is a low, broad, single-story frame building with a moderately-steep-pitched gabled roof, a large central chimney, and very little ornamentation. Originating in New England in the 17th century, the simple symmetrical design was constructed of local materials to withstand the stormy weather of Cape Cod. It features a central front door flanked by multipaned windows. The space above the first floor was often left unfinished, with or without windows on the gable ends.
American Farm
A farmhouse was typically built to be rectangular in shape and may have been added onto slowly as the family grew. Oftentimes, the family lived in one portion of the house as more rooms were finished around them. The simple gable roof line was built onto the walls at a 45 degree angle to make it easy to frame and later expand the house.
Today's modern farmhouse still maintains the simple shape, but may have additions to add architectural interest.
Industrial Modern
Modern houses are often quite progressive and forward-thinking in their design. This includes the overall look, the carefully thought-out living spaces and environmentally friendly features that reduce energy consumption and global footprint. Modern houses may push the boundaries of what might be considered possible in design and is always looking to try new and different approaches.
International Modern
The typical characteristics of International Style buildings include rectilinear forms; plane surfaces that are completely devoid of applied ornamentation; and open, even fluid, interior spaces. This early form of minimalism had a distinctively "modern look", reinforced by its use of modern materials, including glass for the facade, steel for exterior support, and concrete for interior supports and floors.
Queen Anne Victorian
The Queen Anne style of British architecture refers to either the English Baroque architecture of the time of Queen Anne or the British Queen Anne Revival form that became popular during the last quarter of the 19th century and the early decades of the 20th century. In other English-speaking parts of the world, New World Queen Anne Revival architecture embodies entirely different styles.
Many Mission Revival homes feature extensive cacti landscaping that's often seen in the southwestern part of the US. This charming home from botanizeme features the hallmark stucco exterior and tiled roofing, but also includes ornate roof detailing that gives it a strong Spanish influence.
Georgian-Federal
Modern Prairie style home design plans borrow aspects of design from the 19th Century Arts and Crafts movement and add to it elements of the early American prairie lifestyle. Long clean lines and low roofs mimicking the vast plains of the Midwest landscape characterize the Prairie architectural style. These houses symbolize prairie living as they appear to grow right out of the soil on which they’re built.
