🏡 The Legacy of American Traditional Architecture 🏡 Let’s dive into the timeless elegance of American Traditional architecture! 🇺🇸 Emerging in the 17th century, this style is a beautiful blend of colonial influences and local craftsmanship. European settlers, primarily from England, France, and the Netherlands, brought their architectural styles to the American colonies. Over time, these elements combined with local materials and techniques to form a uniquely American style. 🔹 Key Characteristics: • Symmetry: American Traditional homes often feature a balanced, symmetrical design. • Gable Roofs: Commonly sloped to shed rain and snow, inspired by colonial roots. • Classic Materials: Brick, wood, and stone exteriors exude warmth and natural beauty. • Decorative Elements: Think shutters, dormer windows, and simple moldings. 🔹 Fun Fact: The American Traditional style has evolved over the centuries but remains popular due to its timeless charm and adaptability. You’ll find everything from charming farmhouses to grand Colonial Revivals under this style! From classic Colonial homes to Cape Cod cottages, American Traditional architecture connects us with the past while continuing to inspire today’s modern builds. 🏠✨ #AmericanTraditional #ArchitectureHistory #TimelessDesign #ClassicHomes

Natural Colours The various shades of natural colours available, offer great versatility and elegance to architectural projects. Each color has its own characteristics and can be used for different aesthetic and functional effects. The choice of natural colours applied to ventilated facade elements can completely transform the aesthetics of a building, adding personality and style to the project. Additionally, these natural colours helps integrate the building into its surroundings, providing a harmonious and cohesive appearance. The use of natural colours in the rehabilitation projects provides a balanced combination, but keeping the traditional lines and at the same time adding modernity, allowing renovated buildings to not only preserve their historical value but also gain a new lease of life, adapting to contemporary demands and the evolution of architecture. #terracotta #portugal #soladrilho #cladding #rainscreen #architecture #glaze
