(Continued from page 13) Get Your Style Down Pat
Popular architectural styles mix a variety of materials including brick, wood, stone and stucco. But getting this combination right is only part of the objective. While it's OK to be somewhat eclectic in your home design, our area has too often been chided for combinations of products that are inappropriate, gaudy or overdone.
To achieve a classical architectural style, it is important to understand and use the correct elements that define each style— right roof pitch, gables, windows and details.
These renderings supplied by Heritage Design Studio, a local design firm, illustrate popular styles and their defining points:
Tudor Revival French Eclectic
Storybook
Italian Renaissance
Spanish Eclectic
More information about each of these styles and floorplans for the homes illustrated are available on
