Custom Home Building In A Perfectly Floridian Style

8/24/2018

 
Custom Home Building In A Perfectly Floridian Style
Depending upon your preference there are dozens of different home styles that you could choose from when building your own custom home. From Victorian mansion to Mid Century Modern ranch the many varied home styles represent the personal style of the homeowners.
Here are a few styles that complement the backdrop of Florida's distinct landscape:

Bungalow
One very popular home style in Florida is the Bungalow. While the word Bungalow has often been used to describe any small home, but the style has a few very specific traits. First, the bungalow is most often a one-story home, though in some cases when the attic space is utilized as living space the home is referred to as one and a half stories. Bungalows are often built in the craftsman style and were extremely popular in the early half of the 20th century due to the relatively low cost of building them. These days Florida bungalows are beloved because of the combination of quality craftsmanship and porches that provide access to the outdoors.

Ranch
LIke the bungalow, the ranch style home is usually a one-story house. However, that’s about where the similarities end. Unlike the focus on detail and craftsmanship of the bungalow, the ranch home is known for its simplicity of design. Ranch homes are also larger and often integrate the garage into the home. These generally unornamented homes can be updated with beautiful trim and high-quality materials for the home builder interested in a more ornate design. A feature of ranch homes that very popular with homeowners today is its open concept living spaces. Perhaps the ranch style home is the right direction to take your custom home building project.

Spanish Style
Spanish style homes are very commonly found in south Florida but are popular in many coastal cities across the state. These stucco homes are airy and open with distinct architectural qualities and beautiful terracotta tile roofs. These ornate homes vary in size from small to extra large and provide plenty of indoor/outdoor space. The curves and arches of the windows and doorways as well as the painted tiles are just as few of the decorative touches that make Spanish Style homes so popular for new home building projects in the state of Florida.

Modern
Ultra modern homes appear to be the style du jour for Floridians who are ready to build a home that is beautiful, functional, and exciting. One of the main features of the modern home is the use of large windows that invite the outside in. This is particularly popular on properties that have beautiful views of the water. Modern home builders also tend to use more exposed industrial building materials. The modern home building style is increasingly more popular all over the country and is often paired with a commitment to environmental sustainability.

As you begin your custom home building journey you will find that there are so many different styles of home to choose from, and with enough research, you can find the one that works best for your family. The most important part of the home building process is finding a team of builders you can work with. Give us a call today and we’ll help make your custom home building dreams come true.
