What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Becky Harris to Sixties Southern Style: Inspiration from 'The Help'
Front porch. An impressive tree-lined driveway and the biggest front porch possible are key elements of plantation style.
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to Timeline of American House Styles
... houses in the South developed wraparound verandas to shade the interiors and tall windows to let in breezes: a tradition that continues today.
added by Becky Harris to Regional Design: Charleston and the South Carolina Lowcountry
One distinctive Lowcountry design move that never goes out of style is a raised first floor. "The first floors were raised off the ground to keep out the floodwaters and to allow breezes to circulate under the house," explains Frederick.
added by Rachel Grace to Tidewater Homes
Located on a bluff in Charleston, this tidewater home is designed for wet, hot climates.
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to Vernacular Design: Architecture's Regional Voices
Or is it a more formal language, a symmetrical home with a deep-set porch and an elevated main level?
