One f the mst imprtant prducts f the architectural spirit is the Craftsman hme.It emerged at the turn f the 20th century ut f the American Craftsman mvement.While late 19th-century Victrian hmes shwed ff the advances f American manufacturing thrugh stentatius(裝飾豪華的) details and decratin,the American Craftsman mvement emphasized individualistic,hand-wrked gds and buildings.It was a return t the beauty f natural materials and frms,and an encuragement f persnal talent.
Craftsman architecture became ppular thrughut the American Midwest and Suthern Califrnia,with architects like Myrn Hunt,Henry and,mst famusly,Frank Llyd Wright headlining the mvement and putting their wn stamp n the style.
Althugh they may vary a bit by regin,yu can usually identify a Craftsman hme frm the utside by its rf that extends past the hme’s walls.Craftsman hmes have plenty f pen space and windws t allw natural lighting,and are designed fr easy cnstructin,and tend t have a small ftprint f nly ne r tw stries.The secnd stry is ften nestled under the rf.Unlike the steeply pitched gables f Victrian hmes,Craftsman hmes have less prnunced,sfter pitches n their rfs.They may have large single drmers abve windws r even feature stained glass windws.Craftsman hmes cmmnly use natural building materials like wd,stucc,stne,r brick.
Craftsman hmes are ppular.They are fairly cmmn,ften architecturally interesting,and prvide a functinal layut that appeals t many peple.Many Craftsman hmes als have sme histric appeal,especially if they’re well-maintained.If yu’re lking fr a lt f living space and many bedrms and bathrms,a Craftsman hme might nt be fr yu.But if yu’re lking fr a hme that is simple,practical,and interesting,a Craftsman hme is wrth checking ut.
