Architectural Styles, Features, Components, home page and index to key articles. Here is an easy photo guide that shows how to recognize common residential building architectural styles, roof shapes and styles, window types and systems.

We present a series of drawings and photographs to assist in recognition and naming of building architectural styles, roof shapes, window types, and other building features.

We also recognize that not every building fits a perfect textbook name or class, building are rarely constructed to a single pure architectural style.

Rather, architectural elements are often mixed, mashed, and sometimes, like the house shown in our page top photo, lost entirely. Page top image courtesy of Carson Dunlop Associates, a Toronto home inspection, education & report writing tool company [ carsondunlop.com ].

A Quick Drawing & Photo Guide to Building Architectural Styles

After inspecting the FOUNDATION hidden below that structure where we saw some interesting foundatiion damage and bulging and a forest of attempts at reinforcement we named this building "country-collapsing style".

We left our old beemer safely out of reach of this country-collapsing structure.

Below we provide a table of building architectural styles with links to drawings and photographs illustrating each.

Additional examples of architectural styles are at the links shown below

As the Georgian style Daniel Vose house (today called the Suffolk Resolves house) (1774) shows, in actual practice the architecture of even important, historic homes may be complicated than the archetype illustrations of architectural types below.

The Suffolk Resolves house was actually joined from two earlier homes, and later completely relocated to its present location in Milton MA.

Thanks to reader Zora who pointed out that while Italian Renaissance style buildings in the U.S. are often dated from the 18th to early 19th Century, such as our buildings in Hudson NY first settled by Europeans in the early 18th century, in Europe the true Italian Renaissance began in the 14th century (Trecento period) and extended into the 17th century, well before any whaling ships were fitted in Hudson NY.

Radford, President of the Radford Architectural Co.; Editor-in-Chief "American Builder" and "Farm Mechanics"; Publisher "Radford's Cyclopedia of Construction" in twelve volumes; "Radford's Estimating & Contracting"; "Details of Building Construction"; "Guaranteed Build-Plans", Etc., Etc. . Excerpt from Foreward:
  
  THIS present volume is intended to supplement our well-known collection of building details, entitled "Radford's Portfolio of Details of. Building Construction," which was first issued in 1912 and has since run thru many editions.
  
  All of the plates in the present series are new—not duplicating at all the earlier work. They present many of the modern ideas, that have come to the front during the past ten years.
  
  This collection of details is offered with the expectation and hope that it Avill be of great practical utility to carpenters, builders, mill men, lumber dealers, draftsmen and architects.
  
  The aim has been to make it a complete manual of modern building practice, all points being made clear and understandable by means of the working drawing—the language of the blue print and the universal language of the building trades.
  
  This book is a collection of plates, accurately drawn by skilled draftsmen, showing clearly the details of modern building construction and finish. Brief explanatory text accompanies each plate, calling attention to some of the points illustrated.
  
  The drawings themselves, however, are of first importance and should be carefully studied. More helpful ideas and exact information are contained in a single one of these plates of details than could be crowded into a whole chapter of ordinary descriptive text.
  
  Details are given showing the framing and construction of residences of every type—frame houses, brick houses, brick veneer houses, stucco houses, etc. Also every popular and attractive stj'le of interior trim is fully detailed.
  
  Special ideas are presented for the appropriate interior finish for every room or part of the house. These ideas are worked out complete, the drawings showing both the arrangement of the room and all the interior trim, including built-in features, fully detailed.

  According to Roy, underground or `earth-sheltered' houses are unexpectedly livable. Judging by his book's attractive pictures, that's easy to believe.
  
  The house he bases his point-by-point guide on is indeed a showplace. Its homey touches are just that, though, and Roy's main concern is creating such a house, from drawing up the plans to surveying the site to the actual building.
  
  Roy's instruction is insightful and comprehensive....Throughout, he covers construction and installation details that are extremely important for nonprofessionals brave enough to undertake building their own homes."

• US DOE, EARTH SHELTERED HOMES [PDF] U.S. DOE: DOE describes two basic types of earth sheltered homes: underground homes and bermed homes (banked with earth). - Updated link 2022/10/02 https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/efficient-earth-sheltered-homes
  • Designing Underground Earth-Sheltered Homes
    
    When an entire earth-sheltered house is built below grade or completely underground, it's called an underground structure. The atrium or courtyard design can accommodate an underground, earth-sheltered house.
    
    Atrium or Courtyard Design
    
    An earth-covered dwelling may have as little as 6–8 inches (0.2 meters) of sod or as much as 9 feet (2.7 meters) of earth covering the structure. An atrium design offers an open feeling because it has four walls that give exposure to daylight. This design uses a subgrade open area as the entry and focal point of the house. |
    
    The house is built completely below ground on a flat site, and the major living spaces surround a central outdoor courtyard. The windows and glass doors that are on the exposed walls facing the atrium provide light, solar heat, outside views, and access via a stairway from the ground level.
    
    Atrium/courtyard homes are usually covered with less than 3 feet (0.9 meters) of earth primarily because greater depths do not improve energy efficiency. This style also offers the potential for natural ventilation.
    
    The atrium design is hardly visible from ground level and barely interrupts the landscape. It also provides good protection from winter winds and offers a private outdoor space. This design is ideal for an area without scenic exterior views, in dense developments, and on sites in noisy areas.
    
    Passive solar gain—heat obtained through windows—might be more limited, due to the window position in an atrium plan. Courtyard drainage and snow removal are important items to consider in design.
    
    Designing Bermed Earth-Sheltered Homes
    
    A bermed earth-sheltered house may be built above grade or partially below grade, with outside earth surrounding one or more walls. Such a structure can accommodate more conventional earth-sheltered house designs, such as elevational and penetrational.
    
    Elevational Design for earth bermed homes:
    
    Elevational plans expose one whole face of the house and cover the other sides—and perhaps the roof—with earth. The covered sides protect and insulate the house. The exposed front of the house, usually facing south, allows the sun to light and heat the interior.
    
    The floor plan is arranged so common areas and bedrooms share light and heat from the southern exposure.
    
    This type of house may be placed at varying depths below ground level and is usually set into the side of a hill. The view provided will be one of landscape, rather than open sky, as in the atrium design. A structure designed in this way can be the least expensive and simplest to build of all earth-sheltered structures.
    
    The elevational design may have limited internal air circulation and reduced daylight in the northern portions of the house, though there are ways to alleviate these problems by using skylights. The wide design of the house can be offset by close attention to architectural details, landscaping, and exterior materials.
    
    Penetrational Design for Earth Sheltered Homes
    
    In a penetrational design, earth covers the entire house, except where it is retained for windows and doors. The house is usually built at ground level, and earth is built up (or bermed) around and on top of it. This design allows cross-ventilation opportunities and access to natural light from more than one side of the house.
    
    Advantages and Disadvantages of Earth-Sheltered Homes
    
    As with any home design, earth-sheltered houses have their advantages and disadvantages.
    
    Advantages of Earth-Sheltered Homes
    
    There are many advantages to earth-sheltered construction. An earth-sheltered home is less susceptible to the impact of extreme outdoor air temperatures, so you won't feel the effects of adverse weather as much as in a conventional house.
    
    Temperatures inside the house are more stable than in conventional homes. And with less temperature variability, interior rooms seem more comfortable.
    
    Because earth covers part or all of their exterior, earth-sheltered houses require less outside maintenance, such as painting and cleaning gutters. Constructing a house that is dug into the earth or surrounded by earth builds in some natural soundproofing. Plans for most earth-sheltered houses "blend" the building into the landscape more harmoniously than a conventional home.
    
    Finally, earth-sheltered houses can cost less to insure because their design offers extra protection against high winds, hailstorms, and natural disasters such as tornados and hurricanes.
    
    Disadvantages of Earth-Sheltered Homes
    
    As with any type of unusual construction, there are some disadvantages associated with earth-sheltered housing. Principal downsides are the initial cost of construction, which may be up to 20% higher. Also, an increased level of care is required to avoid moisture problems, during both the construction and the life of the house.
    
    It can take more diligence to resell an earth-sheltered home, and buyers may have a few more hurdles to clear in the mortgage application process.

@Kim,

Thank you for the interesting roof and gable architecture photo. We're not as smart as we may seem.

Telling us the country and city of location, building age, or what else is known, can help us research and answer questions more accurately and more-quickly.

Could this be Dutch?

On 2022-06-02 by InspectApedia-911 (mod) - 1926 University of Oregon Mac Court

@CJ,

You might ask the University of Oregon buildings and grounds people if they have kept construction records dating from the 1920s. In my opinion it's unlikely that such details are kept but if so you'd review bills of materials and contracting bids.

Your other option is to consult historical records of the architecture of the university, such as "McArthur Court - Architecture of the University of Oregon". University of Oregon Libraries.

We could perhaps research and consider an answer to your question if we knew its reason and its objective.

On 2022-06-02 by CJ

I am trying to find out what the name of the products used in 1926 when University of Oregon Mac court was built. Floor tiles, insulation, plumbing, etc

Any idea where I can find this information?

Hi! I'm not any kind of architecture expert so please correct me if I'm wrong, but in response to Marc Olivetti's question, I'd wager that the house is either California ranch style or suburban ranch styled.

It matches almost perfectly with the former, except for the chimney bisecting the facade which is such a cool feature. (Also I know this is three years late lol sorry)

On 2020-08-19 - by (mod) -

In my OPINION, Marc (I'm not an architect) this is after the style of a swiss chalet, with an center chimney that bisects the lines of an A-framed center of the home.

I’m trying to identify this style of architecture. Can anyone help please?

Thank you Zora. I'll add your note. Indeed many North American buildings reproduced much older European designs, but of course not until centuries later. I have clarified the text and include there at "thank-you" to you.

Hassan,

You are most welcome to send us some photos using the page bottom or top CONTACT link. I'm no expert on Indian architecture, but you probably know know the British Colonial period extends from about 1615 to 1947 and depending on the building type we see columns, domes, minarets, towers, curved facades often combined with asian arched top or key-top shaped windows and doors.
