 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. |
