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

 Cape
Cod cottages originated from English Colonial
styling. Originally a one story house, 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 house 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
houses 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
houses. |
 Prairie style
house design originated with Frank Lloyd Wright. Broad,
horizontal planes, low roof pitches, and cantilevered
eaves are all common elements of Prairie style house
design. Planes arranged at right angles are composed
of wood and multiple courses of brick or stone masonry. |
