Styles and Influences

Tudor Revival

Refers to the revival of architectural elements from the Tudor period in England which spans from 1485 to 1603. Distinct features include decorative half-timbering, steeply pitched gable roofs, mullioned windows, and sometimes, a prominent chimney. Real-life examples include:

• Ascott House, England
• Greystone Mansion, Beverly Hills, USA

Arts & Crafts

Arts & Crafts was an international design movement that prospered between 1880 and 1920, especially in the second half of that period. It stood for traditional craftsmanship using simple forms and often applied medieval, romantic, or folk styles of decoration. Examples include:

• Red House, London, England
• The Gamble House, Pasadena, USA

Colonial Revival

Colonial Revival architecture was and is a nationalistic design movement in the United States. Part of a broader Colonial Revival Movement embracing Georgian and Neoclassical styles, it seeks to revive elements of architectural style, garden design, and interior design of American colonial architecture. Some notable instances:

• Williamsburg, Virginia (restoration project)
• The White House (renovations during the Theodore Roosevelt administration)
