Classical Revival Homes

Classical Revival Homes

Classical Revival Homes are houses that adapt the proportions and architectural vocabulary of ancient Greek and Roman buildings. Symmetrical facades, columns, pediments, and clearly defined entrances give Classical Revival Homes a formal composition. Residential examples range from modest houses with classical door surrounds to larger homes with porticoes, while regional materials and later adaptations produce considerable variation.

Classical and Revival Home Styles

Historic domestic traditions and later architectural revivals translate earlier building vocabularies into residential forms. Symmetry, classical details, medieval references, and Mediterranean courtyards provide different ways to organize facades and living spaces, with local materials and construction practices giving each tradition a distinct expression.
