Frequently Asked Questions
What is a traditional house plan?
A traditional house plan refers to a home with classic, historical, or old-fashioned design elements. A wide variety of architectural styles fall under the traditional umbrella, including European, Craftsman, colonial, and farmhouse, but today's traditional homes are something different—they blend features into new designs that don't fit neatly into past archetypes!
How do traditional house plans differ from other plans?
Traditional house plans tend to have defined floor plans with rooms for specific uses, which is in contrast to modern design with open layouts that combine common areas into one larger space. Traditional homes have more walls, hallways, and alcoves to create this definition, and they also feature more historically accurate finishes like windows with divided lites and dressy lighting and plumbing fixtures.
What are some common features of traditional house plans?
Traditional homes typically include formal living and dining rooms, porches with columns, and gabled or hipped rooflines with dormers. Depending on the underlying historical style, they may have plenty of decorative elements or minimal ornamentation—just compare an elaborate Victorian or Craftsman design to a simple country home and you'll see why traditional house plans are so diverse these days!
