Traditional House PlansTraditional house plans, sometimes referred to as American home plans, are the most commonly built home designs throughout the United States and Canada. Many traditional style home plans share characteristics with Colonial Revival style plans such as classical details like columns, while some are more cottage-like with gables and dormers. Typically, Traditional home plans are usually two-story and have covered entries, simple roof lines with at least one front facing gable, symmetrically spaced windows and little ornamentation. Inside, Traditional style floor plans tend to include kitchen-great rooms, covered grilling porches, and mudrooms or "friends entries" near the garage. Traditional home plans often feature a central entry with formal living and dining rooms flanking the foyer and more casual living spaces at the rear, opening to the backyard. While they may incorporate elements of historical American styles, Traditional house plans are more about comfortable living than pure architectural design.
