Remodeling Ranch House
If you ar considering house remodeling in a ranch style you probably desire some of the following features for your home:
- a simple asymmetrical design in an L-shape, U-shape or orthogonal shape
- long, low pitched gable cap
- large, overhanging eaves
- large windows
- open floor plan
- natural materials
- decorative shutters and porch
- attached garage
This can be relatively easy to achieve providing you have the right house to work with. Obviously, you ar non going to be capable to make the outside of a two or three storey town house look ranch style but most bungalows, cottages and spanish style houses could be adapted.
Similarly, if you are looking to remodel your ranch style home into a unlike style, this is also possible within reason.
Ranch style houses do not need to be single storey. If you have two levels or you want more space you might want to consider a raised ranch style on split levels. These are less attractive than the single storey homes, but certainly more practical if you have limited ground floor space for expansion.
When the cost of converting your house outwardly is too much even for your dream style home, consider remodeling just the inside of the house. Remove some of the internal walls that are not structural (i.e. holding up the house), replace floors with genuine or bemock oak floor and expose the beams of your house if you have them (it is even potential to have fake beams put into your home). Keep the interior simple and open plan and decorate accordingly.
Creating your dream ranch style home need non be cost prohibitive, but there may be areas where you will have to be more originative with the design, structure and materials you already have.
The Farmhouse: New Inspiration for the Classic American Home
Product Description
DIV Farmhouses evoke nostalgic memories–real or imagined–of a simpler life and a deep, nourishing connection to the seasons and the land. While most of us don’t live that way anymore, we all share a longing for the values that this classic American house form represents. So what makes a true American farmhouse? A farmhouse is intimately connected to the land and all its seasons, dominates a community of buildings, and is built to last using natural, indigenous materials. These are the core qualities of the farmhouse style, whether old or new. From a working farm on Martha’s Vineyard to a horse ranch in Washington State, this remarkable collection of 20 new and remodeled farmhouses celebrates the best American farmhouses built in the past five years. Over 300 photographs beautifully illustrate these homes, and the accompanying site and floor plans, historical sidebars, and up-close details add depth to this rich collection. With this ground breaking book, America’s quintessential house style is reinvented for the 21st-century family. /div
