ARCHITECTURAL STYLES

Craftsman Lake House

Program:

Among the wide range of home styles, there's one that stands out from the rest due to its rich history and character: the craftsman home. Popularized by American furniture manufacturer Gustav Stickley and the Gamble brothers, who are known for the iconic Gamble House, craftsman-style houses first garnered attention in the late 1800s and early 1900s during the Arts & Crafts Movement. It was a time when people started to lose interest in the eclectic nature of Victorian homes, choosing, instead, to favor the simplicity of craftsman homes.

Ending Quote

In order to design a building the first thing architects need to understand is the program, which is an architectural way of saying, “what is your wish list?” or, “how will this building be used?”
