Colonial
Home Plans
The
Colonial style home has roots in rural English architecture. Brought
to the new world in the 1600's by Puritan settlers, and
following Puritan beliefs, these homes were humble, uncomplicated
and straight forward. Also known as "English
Colonials", these homes typically consisted of a central
fireplace surrounded with two to four rooms on the main
level with a similar layout on the upper level. Clapboard
siding and small casement windows helped to reduce heat
loss. Shingled roofs were steeply pitched to shed
New England's winter snow fall.
The front elevations of our Colonial styled home plans reflect
these time honored elements, while the floor plans incorporate
modern design features and amenities for the way we live our
lives in this century. |
