北美独立屋主要建筑风格

说到定制别墅,最重要的决定就是选择你想建的房屋风格。每种风格都有各自不同的特征,有些城市或者城区会偏爱一种风格,但一般来说还是看个人喜好,尤其是建造豪华定制别墅时。为了帮到您和您的住宅开发商,我们列举了这些最受欢迎的房屋建造风格。 科德角式 侧面带着山角和烟囱的陡峭屋顶是科德角式别墅的最大特征,这种风格还包括宽护墙板、木瓦石或者砖墙等元素。科德角式的大门一般在房屋的正中央,并且比其他风格低调。实木在科德角式别墅里很常见,大厅一般在房子的中央,外部会有多窗格的窗子以百叶窗装饰,带给房子一种别样风情。 殖民风格 殖民风格外观庄严而古典,是最受欢迎的别墅建筑风格之一。殖民风格最显著的风格是有天窗的多层高屋顶,烟囱和屋侧的窄护墙板。殖民风格的别墅也是对称的,房屋正中的大门两边会有成对的多窗格,冠型和柱型装饰也是殖民风格不可或缺的一部分。 现代风格 现代风格的独特之处在于这种风格不向其他风格那样非常分明,但又是最容易分辨的一种。现代风格一般使用天然的侧墙材料,比如石头或者木头,屋顶可以是教堂顶或者平顶。不规则和不寻常的造型在现代风格中也很常见,现代风格最大的特点还有简洁明了的外形,开放的布局和高大的窗户。 小木屋风格 安大略省以度假屋闻名,但小木屋不仅仅是湖边小屋,也是一种独特的房屋风格。小木屋周边一般是花园或者树林(所以才叫小木屋),外观上会有石头烟囱、尖顶和多格窗,屋侧一般使用木头。小木屋的一些特点还有门口蜿蜒的小径、爬墙的绿植和窗台花架。 手工匠风格 手工匠风格起源于注重天然材料和简洁形式的艺术与工业运动,至今都是非常受欢迎的一种房屋风格。外露房梁和房椽的低山墙屋顶是这种风格的一种显著特征。开阔的门廊由方柱撑起,外墙一般是木头、石头或者灰泥。手工匠风格一般还会有三两一组的窗户,开放式布局和内置结构是这种风格最受欢迎的一点。 农场风格 农场风格的别墅不一定非要在农场上。农场风格也被称作简易维多利亚风格,特点是有天窗、山墙和不对称的房型布局,落地窗和环绕房屋的门廊的细节会让农场风格更完整。 希腊复古风格 最著名的希腊复古风格房屋就是美国白宫了,这种风格一般会建在大面积场地上,外形看上去比较方,还有落地窗。屋顶一般是比较平缓的斜屋顶,而屋侧一般使用白色或者白色的护墙板。希腊复古风格最显著的特征是以大希腊柱撑起房屋正面的门廊。 国际风格 国际风格,或者欧洲海陆风格,一言以蔽之就是“少即是多。” 国际风格的特征是工业风材料、开放布局、和少量的聚拢。国际风格的屋顶一般是平的,外观会使用几何图形、中性的颜色和大量的玻璃。国际风格的房屋材料一般会使用木头、钢材和水泥。 地中海复古风格 地中海复古风格起源于西南和西班牙殖民风格,这种风格的别墅一般有用粘土瓦片搭建的平顶或者半斜顶,黑色铁艺围栏的阳台和陶土铺路机。很多地中海复古风格的房屋都有内花园,橘色、黄褐色和黄色等暖色调也很常见。 牧场风格 牧场风格的显著特点是单层和长方。牧场风格较简约,附有车库、玻璃移门和低地板。牧场风格因为开放式布局而受到有小孩的家庭欢迎。 美国南部殖民风格 美国南部殖民风格,也被称作美国南部种植园风格,在大面积房屋中很受欢迎。这种风格的别墅一般有陡峭的屋顶,并且在外形上呈对称,包括正门和窗户。这种风格的最大特点是底楼和楼上都可以有的宽门廊。 都铎风格 都铎风格的房子看上去更像是童话里的房子风格,这种风格有陡峭的屋顶、超大的烟囱和宽阔的山墙。都铎风格的别墅外部会使用奶油色和咖啡色之类的对比色,或者绿色之类的深自然色,窄长的窗户让都铎风格的房子看上去更像童话中的房子。 维多利亚式风格 维多利亚风格比都铎风格更像童话故事里的房子,陡峭的屋顶、层层叠叠的姜饼般的木工和高而窄的窗户是这种风格的特点。圆柱、塔屋和门廊的特点让他们看上去更像童话一般。维多利亚风格与众不同的是对于明亮的色彩、多种色彩和装饰性木工等特殊工艺的使用。
