Traditional
A Timeless Favorite
Often borrowing from European influences but designing for American lifestyles this suburban home style is often done for large properties and borrows many traditional Colonial elements. You’ll often find asymmetrical facades, multiple gables, and varying roof lines at different heights.
A traditional architect will often look at the style of homes in older communities to emulate. Elements of past design, like the shape of doors, windows, home heights, and roof elements are carried forward into new Traditional construction, typing the present to the past to keep the community looks consistent.
Traditional architecture is a way of building homes that stand the test of time and fit into a neighborhood or community with forethought.
“If you like a number of architectural styles, consider a Traditional home, it’s often a mix of different elements and styles from the past.”
Characteristics
A main component of a traditional architectural style is the way in which the past building styles and the present are merged together, creating a seamless transition. With a traditional architecture, much thought is paid to the materials used in a building and how they function and work.
