Tudor House Plans
The Tudor house plan is easily identified by its exterior; diagonally placed heavy dark beams set against light, whitewashed plaster, and a patterned stone or brick chimney. Tudor style home plans draw their inspiration from medieval cottages and palaces. Tudor home designs are typically one and a half to two stories with second-floor cladding in contrast with cladding on the first floor. Tudor house plans may include tall and narrow multi-paned casement or mullioned windows, rounded doorways, and a projecting bay window cantilevered over the first floor. Most Tudor floor plans offer volume entries, expansive living areas and high ceilings under steeply pitched roofs with gable ends.
