Craftsman House Plan Architecture Style

The Craftsman style was born from the Arts and Crafts Movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in reaction to the Industrial Revolution's effects on the decorative arts. The Craftsman Architecture Style recognized the satisfaction that arose from completing meaningful work, and recognizing the importance of separating from a chaotic, technology-driven life to reconnect oneself with nature.

The Craftsman style also includes wide overhanging eaves with exposed roof rafters, decorative braces, built-in cabinets, shelves and seating. A Craftsman House Plan style may also have stone chimneys, gabled dormers, and one or one and a half stories. One important characteristic can be found in the intricate design of the windows with divided lights in the upper sash and a single light in the lower sash.

The Craftsman style house plans exterior features natural materials consisting of wood siding or stone, masonry chimneys, and rock foundations that slope outward as they approach the ground.
