"Florida Home" Architectural Style
The Florida Home is a classic, distinctive and elegant style which has been explored and developed by architects such as Igor Polevitzky, Rufus Nims and Alfred Browning Parker in 1940s-'50s South Florida. The homes are based on international style and modern architecture, in an attempt to incorporate modern designs and elements in the styling.
Florida house is famous for its comfortable and lively spaces in a warm climate. Screened outdoor living, sleeping and dining pool areas are typical characteristic features of any outdoor living space. To fight the elements while letting air pass through, the architects experimented with eaves, raised floors and the omnipresent jalousie windows.
Cracker Style
Florida cracker architecture is a style of woodframe homes that were hugely popular in the 19th century in Florida, United States, and are still popular with some developers as a source of design themes. These homes are characterized by metal roofs, raised floors and straight central hallways from the front to the back of the home.
Floridian style house floor plans will rarely have a basement due to the elevation and water table. The exterior walls are usually be made of concrete. Cement block walls are sometimes replaced with ICF or Insulated Concrete Forms. Concrete is used because it is the best base strata for the stucco exterior finish. In fact, many homeowners have permanently covered their homes to allow for efficient air-conditioning and incorporate other modern needs as well.
The designing is extremely sensible with different parts of the home divided into villas, separated into four corners connected by covered walkways affording privacy as well as allowing those imperative southeasterly breezes to drift through the spacious rooms.
Well, above are some key features about the "Florida home" architectural style.
