Architectural Tutorial: Columns

We're not talking about ancient Greece and Rome, where the latest fashion is togas, laurel leaf crowns, and architecture consists of giant temples with ornate pillars.  We are talking about practical, residential applications of the design element that ancient architects put into place for the generations beyond.  Today, we will focus on three common column types that we use, marking the exterior of the home with a distinctive style.<br /><br /><b><i>Tuscan.</i></b> Because of it's simplicity, the Tuscan order is seen as similar to the Greek Doric order, although its proportions follow the ratio of the Ionic order more closely.  As defined by the Italian architect, Sebastiano Serlio, the Tuscan order was suitable for fortified places like city gates, fortresses, castles or where artillery was held.  In more recent days in a residential application, it became a part of the Georgian style due to the ability of carpenters to easily work up with a few planing tools. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Architectural Tutorial: Battered Walls

No, this is not the look you get when you take out your frustrations on the walls of your home.  Battered is an architectural term for a wall with a receding slope from the ground upwards, narrowing at the top.  The same term can be used to describe chimneys and columns that have bases wider than the top.  This design term dates all the way back to ancient times, when battered walls were used to deter invaders from breaking down walls.  The receding slope added a level of stability against attacks of weapons like battering rams.  Today, they are used as interesting design elements that give the exterior a little pizzazz.  Plus, you get the added bonus of your home being able withstand battering rams - how cool is that!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Architectural Tutorial: The American Farmhouse

When you think of the word "farmhouse," does your mind immediately go to a picturesque rural landscape with the sun setting behind a field of shoulder-height corn, bare-footed children running around and John Deere tractors parked nearby?  Not all farmhouses are straight out of The Little House on the Prairie.  They have classic design elements from a variety of architectural styles, including Cape Cod, Georgian and Victorian, that can fit in just about any American neighborhood.<br /><div><br /></div><div>Some of the core elements of the American Farmhouse style include dormers, covered porches, and white paint with floor plans that are both practical and pleasant for a growing family.  Originally, more formal spaces were placed near the front of the home, but in modern day, formal spaces are being left by the wayside to gathering spaces with an overall feeling of welcome and comfort.  One thing that can be said about this style is that it gives an general feeling of nostalgia of a simpler time, with a sentimental connection to the land surrounding it and our country's rich architectural history.  Come to think of it, maybe a home design straight out of The Little House on the Prairie wouldn't be all bad!<br /><div><br /></div><div>Here are a few of <a href="http://www.visbeen.biz/">Visbeen's</a> farmhouse designs....</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Rt5qQ-BPIaw6hq9i5PU5Noulad0wqiSvWlWXW-KfFy1hlUFJOAWJ-amCW3rAjH4WLawjAb0WcnKrxtlhdqowHdLlzv9ZmhiZTtAQhwuyfxDEJwy3aUC_YeMmh_KAC2PS-8a6EROSMphg/s1600/FrontExterior2.Jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Rt5qQ-BPIaw6hq9i5PU5Noulad0wqiSvWlWXW-KfFy1hlUFJOAWJ-amCW3rAjH4WLawjAb0WcnKrxtlhdqowHdLlzv9ZmhiZTtAQhwuyfxDEJwy3aUC_YeMmh_KAC2PS-8a6EROSMphg/s320/FrontExterior2.Jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Packed with plenty of farmhouse flavor, the design of the Madison was inspired by the past but features the best of the present. </span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf2_w7gfUBjCiJQ9CorSEnCq69nYcG6gudJAa8hAzob6qy9zydS9hVyUGNNmKK_WzovzWHi2JkvpfDcnZa_yQ5aFYzAfJ7kM-T09WMtN2gIk06JyGwPEFEQCbmBEJTiBD2tLOVf28xWGHs/s1600/Color+Sketch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="129" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf2_w7gfUBjCiJQ9CorSEnCq69nYcG6gudJAa8hAzob6qy9zydS9hVyUGNNmKK_WzovzWHi2JkvpfDcnZa_yQ5aFYzAfJ7kM-T09WMtN2gIk06JyGwPEFEQCbmBEJTiBD2tLOVf28xWGHs/s320/Color+Sketch.jpg" width="320" /></span></i></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Farmhouse meets Four Square in Valley Ridge's classic four bedroom, 4 1/2 –bath American design.</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-irafTv_0o7dknellUE5LF5zMhQD2VOgXmAfiVnvRyec61X-HI20uBDn6hAl4W8NjG-IiTJcX8Y8CkT1Wt2JD119_RBEXq36gIIKOr-uYQLjo90gr4h494Hwv6sqW8JROLrymvu7eiG3N/s1600/9039_Front_SideView.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-irafTv_0o7dknellUE5LF5zMhQD2VOgXmAfiVnvRyec61X-HI20uBDn6hAl4W8NjG-IiTJcX8Y8CkT1Wt2JD119_RBEXq36gIIKOr-uYQLjo90gr4h494Hwv6sqW8JROLrymvu7eiG3N/s320/9039_Front_SideView.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i> Classic yet comfortable, the Hillsborough draws upon a long tradition of American farmhouses and captures the ease and elegance of a simpler time.
