House Style: Cottage

Cottage style is usually asymmetrical with a steep, complex roof line. The floor plans are filled with individuality. Their asymmetrical plans are based on the belief that "a beautiful house fully reflects a fine character." Rooms tends to be small and irregularly shaped and the upper rooms have sloping walls with dormers. This style became especially popular in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s. Often referred to as Carpenter Gothic Revival, small Cottage house plans are flexible and fanciful featuring vertical board and batton walls, charming balconies and expansive bay windows attributing to their Gothic heritage.
