  2. The Cape Cod

  3. The Cape Cod • Developed over 200 years ago. • Very traditional home • Usually built as 1 or ½ story but later 2 stories have become common • Originally had a steep roof with little overhang • Eve lines are near the top of the window

  4. The Cape Ann • Very much like the Cape Code except for the chimney • The Chimney is usually centrally located and larger than the Cape Cod • The home consists of simple lines and sound construction and a feel of colonial atmosphere.

  5. The New England Gambrel

  6. The New England Gambrel • Variation of the colonial home but features a Gambrel Rood where the pitch is abruptly changed. • The advantage of the Gambrel roof is the extra headroom and usable living space

  7. The Garrison

  8. The Garrison • The traditional feature of the Garrison is the overhanging second floor. • The separate corner posts make it possible to use shorter stronger posts. • The short straight lines provide economy in framing materials. • Extra space is added at the second level by the overhang at very little extra cost.

  9. The Salt Box

  10. The Salt Box • Considered a Colonial • Consists of a long roofline sloping generally from ridge to eaves. • Gets its name from the shape of coffee, tea, cracker and salt boxes found in Colonial stores. • The long slanting roof was helpful in combating the bitter winds common to New England winters.

  11. The Southern Colonial

  12. The Southern Colonial • This house was designed to express a mood of elegance and traditional charm. • Outstanding features include the front colonnade and portico. • Usually massive with upper and lower balconies • Three story chimneys for bedroom fireplaces • Ornate woodwork and iron trim • Roof over the driveway

  16. Modern Structures • Many of today’s structures are well planned while others lack imagination or design balance. • The term modern does not denote any one particular architectural style. • Most modern homes borrow distinctive features from traditional features.

  17. Modern Homes • The most important job of the architect is to design homes that satisfy the customers. • The rapid development of new construction materials and methods of fabrication has made it possible to design homes that require minimum maintenance.

  18. The Ranch Design

  19. The Ranch Design • Long low one story house that grew out of the rancher’s homes of the southwestern part of the country. • Low pitched roof • Gables and overhanging eaves • One or two car attached garage • Contain basements
