Can anyone tell me about this architectural style?
Comments (4)I have no expertise in any way, but the first thing I thought of when I saw your pic was a Spanish Mission... I research a little and discovered it may be called Spanish Revival. Here's a link to a Mission in California that I think resembles this architecture. http://www.californiamissions.com/cahistory/sancarlos.html...See MoreCan you help me determine house style?
Comments (5)Unfortunately, the house doesn't have the bones to be a Craftsman but it could be a Cape Cod or a Nantucket Cottage if you modify the big portico and add some cedar shingles and appropriate trim detailing. I often see houses with architectural detailing that is contradictory to the basic form of the house and it's good evidence of why the best known styles evolved as they did. Be careful that you don't create a bad version of a favorite style like so many home builders do. I recommend that you reinforce what you've got unless you can afford to raise the roof and create a story and a half house.

Comments (1)The second picture shows the frame above the doors so it looks to me like the lowers are an inset style with no intermediate rails. The uppers (3rd picture is the only one that shows the definitely overlay door) may be frameless with side panels to mimick inset. Pretty sure you have to go very high end into full custom lines for this appearance with the national companies. However I am not a KD, just someone who has done both inset and frameless kitchens in the past. Incidentally, speaking from experience, those baseboard toekicks depicted are a bad idea ergonomically. I have one on the outside of my peninsula since i wanted my toekick drawer there to be the full depth of my 16 inch deep cabinet on that side. I am always touching it when I stand on that side of the peninsula (thereby opening the drawer). Keep space for your toes and you will be happier. It was a deliberate choice for me since I needed the storage but I really notice it because every time my toes push that drawer it opens ("toekick" indeed!)....See MoreNeed help identifying Architectural style!
Comments (5)Cute house with wart on the roof. Everything isn't a 'style'. Some houses mix lots of styles, some are best described as American vernacular or generic suburban. This roof looks too flat to be a Cape Cod....See MoreAda Mac
