The difference between the construction styles is the result
of the size of the construction, materials used and the origin of the
architectural style - among many other factors. Here are some of the common house
styles in the US.
1. Ranch
The ranch house became very popular in the second half of
the 20th century, first in the west and southwest and then in the other parts
of the country too. This house typically has I-shape, U-shape or rectangular
shape. Other noteworthy features of the ranch style are the simple floor plans,
a sloped roof, an asymmetrical wide façade as well as the front-facing garage,
attached to the rest of the house.
2. Artisan
Artisan or craftsman style houses appeared and became popular
since 1905. This type of home style is characterized by a combination of wood
and stone, a high sloped roof, veranda with supporting poles, as well as windows
and doors with long vertical glasses.
3. Mediterranean
Mediterranean style is inspired by Spanish and Mexican
homes. The architecture focuses mainly on extensions such as terraces and
verandas. There are typically very few details on the exterior of Mediterranean
houses; the walls are mostly plastered, the roof is flat or slightly sloped,
and the windows are mostly arched.
The roof you choose may be dependent on the style of house you own.
