Traditional House Plans

Traditional House Plans

Traditional house plans, sometimes referred to as American home plans, are the most commonly built home designs throughout the United States and Canada. Typically, Traditional home plans have covered entries, simple rooflines with at least one front facing gable, symmetrically spaced windows and little ornamentation. Inside, Traditional floor plans offer functionality such as a home office, perfect for the work-at-home parent, a rear covered porch, great for grilling, or a mudroom offering a transition from the living areas to the attached garage. Traditional floor plans often feature a central entry with formal living and dining rooms flanking the foyer and more casual living spaces to the rear of the home. While they may incorporate elements of historical American styles, Traditional house plans are more about comfortable living than pure architectural design.
