Shingle House Plans
Adorned with rough-hewn siding and taking on the rambling shape of a Queen Anne, Shingle-style home plans conjure up images of lazy summers spent on the seashore. Architectural historian Vincent Sully popularized the term “Shingle” to describe seaside resort home plans on the New England coast. Though an offshoot of styles being built in the Victorian Era, Shingle-style home plans lack decorative flourishes. In fact, with their skin of shingle cladding, they appear to blend into the natural landscape rather than stand out. Many of the hallmarks of the style, such as porches, Palladian windows, and high gables, are found in these homes from Alan Mascord Design Associates, Inc. And best of all, you don’t have to live on a seashore to enjoy them. Their updated looks are meant to easily blend into your inland neighborhood.
