About Southern Styled Home Plans...Southern house plans are easily recognizable for their architectural features. Their most notable characteristics include sweeping covered front porches lined with stately columns or inviting wrap-around porches. In general, Southern home plans feature a rectangular shape with an exterior of brick or wood and gable rooflines complimented with dormers. Many boast a centrally located entry with a large balcony positioned over the covered front porch. Covered porches and verandas provide shade and help to keep the interior cool in Southern climates. Inside, tall ceilings allow heat to rise above the living spaces, another architectural detail influenced by the climate where these homes have their roots. Though designed to provide comfort, convenience and a relaxed atmosphere, these designs can be built almost anywhere. Southern home plans are closely related to Colonial home plans and Country house plans. |
