Residential Architect

For that classic southern charm, a Southern house plan mimics pre-Civil War Plantation Architecture. Elaborate details, columns, and shutters can be found in this style of home. Brick walls and dormers upon wooden gabled roofs are a standard choice. The Louisiana Creole variation can be seen flaunting a metal roof. And we can’t forget the tall ceilings and large front porches that make these houses the perfect choice for those living in humid climates.

Closely related to Southern plan styles, Brentwood has its fair share of Colonial House plans. Like its Southern counterpart, the Colonial-style house plan features a gabled roof, shutters, columns, and a siding made of wood or brick. Colonial homes are most commonly laid out in a rectangular fashion with equal square footage found on each of its 2 stories and noted for the symmetry on the face of the house, equally balancing the windows on each side. While these homes may resemble those that our forefathers built, you can be sure that today’s Colonial homes are packed with all the modern amenities and luxuries that the modern homeowner has come to expect.
