Central Florida has a vast collection of homes, varying in styles and sizes. Those who are new to home building, therefore, can be easily confused with the range of home styles available to them. If you are looking to build your own home, it’s best to hire an expert custom home builder, one who can help you live in the home of your dreams.
If you need some inspiration for your new Florida lifestyle home, then here are some of the most popular home styles found in Central Florida in 2018:
- Spanish/Mediterranean style home
The most common architectural style found in not just central Florida, but all over the state, is the Spanish/Mediterranean style. With tiled roofs, ironwork, stucco finishes and terra cotta ornaments, these homes are easily recognizable, and several communities have houses built in only this style.
- Contemporary style home
Contemporary style homes are growing more and more popular in central Florida, where home building takes architectural designs from these kinds of homes. For example, high ceilings, stucco finishes, concrete block exterior frames, and open floor plans can be found in many Central Florida homes which are considered contemporary.
- Prairie and ranch style home
Prairie style homes and ranch-style homes are also very popular Florida lifestyle homes. Prairie style homes were made famous by an architect named Frank Lloyd, and its distinctive features include low pitched, overhanging roof, grouped windows, and a secluded entrance. These features made it seem like prairie style homes naturally grow out of the ground they stand on.
From this style, the ranch-style home was later developed, which are homes with one floor, an open floor plan and usually, an attached screened porch.
- Custom home
A custom home is basically a house that can be built in any style or a combination of styles. It depends on the owner of the house and the custom home builder, both of whom decide together the best architectural designs to follow. In most cases, the custom home builder has a “stock” floor plan, which is then customized according to the homeowner’s wishes.
Central Florida is home to a variety of architectural designs, where you are sure to find a place that suits your needs and taste whether you have a large family or a small family, or you are a couple or a working professional. If not, you can always call a new home builder and build the custom home of your dreams.
