 Tudor or English
Tudor styling is of the Medieval practice of
'half timbering' in Tudor, England. Our Tudor
style home plans capture the cozy and intimate
feel of the classic English Tudor. |

 Cape
Cod cottages originated from English Colonial
styling. Originally a one story home, modern
day Cape Code designs have an upper level with
dormers and small projecting front porches. |
 Georgian
/ Greek Revival are noted for rectangular design
with perfect proportions with columns and pediments. Thomas
Jefferson add his touch by using Ionic capitals
in place of Corinthian capitals on his home at
Monticello. |

 Salt
Box design was popularized in New England between
the 1600's and 1800's. Literally named after
a type of box used to store salt, Salt Box styled
homes most notable feature is the steeply pitched,
lean-to gable roofs. Design to shed New England's
winter snow fall, these roofs also provides
much needed extra living spaces in early Colonial
homes. |
 Prairie style
home design originated with Frank Lloyd Wright. Broad,
horizontal planes, low roof pitches, and cantilevered
eaves are all common elements of Prairie style home
design. Planes arranged at right angles are
composed of wood and multiple courses of brick or
stone masonry. |
