Arts and Crafts Architecture Designed With Simplicity
What is a craftsman style home? The term "Arts and Crafts" refers to the early 19th-century British and American movement to revive handicrafts. The movement was also the inspiration behind the Craftsman and bungalow open floor plan architectural styles that we know today.
Our development of custom home plans showcasing inspirations from English Country, French County, & Dutch Colonial Styles gives us a unique edge in the arts and crafts architecture realm.
We create new craftsman style home plans incorporating Craftsman style aesthetics including: detailing and cabinetry, fengshui concepts, and maximum living spaces that can easily blend into a community of older, traditional homes.
