Craftman Style Floor Plans

The Craftsman home was a popular American architectural style in the late 19th century through the 1930s. Based on design elements from the Arts & Crafts period, Craftsman homes are marked by the functional use of local, natural materials, including wood, stone and metal. Craftsman homes traditionally include many hand-crafted features, with interiors designed to be more open and flexible than those of Victorian era homes. The traditional Craftsman Bungalow is a perfect example of this architectural style.

Common features found in many Craftsman homes, include:

• Low-pitched roof lines, gabled or hipped roof
• Overhanging eaves with exposed rafters or brackets
• Thick, square columns flared downward to support the roof
• A generous front porch beneath the extension of the roof
• Hand-crafted woodwork throughout the home
• Small double-hung windows grouped in sets of 4 or more
• Fireplaces made of brick, tile or river stone and framed by symmetric bookshelves

Interest in Craftsman homes saw a resurgence in the later part of the 20th century when many homeowners sought to purchase older Craftsman style homes or incorporate elements of the Craftsman home into contemporary architectural styles.
