Residential Design / American Home Styles / Catalog

American Home Collection

Traditional architectural character, reinterpreted for contemporary residential design. A catalog of home designs that can be offered as a starting point and customized from there.

The Collection

A house should have an identity.

Ten recognizable residential traditions, each defined by the proportions, roof forms, openings, materials and details that give the style its character.

Tradition as a starting point, not a costume.
