As you plan out your new home construction, you’ll see that there are many different styles. Some are unique and prevalent to certain regions while others can be found throughout the U.S. Learn more about some of the most popular home styles below.
This type of home style typically features a low-pitched red-tile roof, grillwork, arches and a stucco or adobe exterior. This design first appeared at the Panama-California Exposition in 1915, but didn’t become popular until later during the 1920s and 1930s in Southern California.
The floor plan is also usually U-shaped as it’s oriented around a central space, such as a fountain or a central courtyard. This makes the garden or landscape part of the overall living space, with rooms that open to the center space to allow cross-ventilation throughout the home’s interiors.
These types of homes are based on the typical residential homes of earlier American colonists. The style became increasingly popular after the 1876 Centennial Exhibition. They feature a two-story brick exterior, evenly-spaced windows with shutters and asphalt shingle roofing systems.
These styles are based on architect-designed homes that were first introduced between the 1950s and 1970s. But in recent years, the term has also been used to refer to a wider range of home styles built with simple geometric shapes and forms. A typical home in this style would feature open floor plans, a simple landscape, exposed roof beams, contrasting materials and textures, flat/low-pitched roofs and a lot of glass.
