Contemporary ranch house (1960s-1970s suburban)

Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

Here's another mid-1960s-through-mid-1970s era contemporary ranch house. This style of house can be found in middle-class and move-up suburbs throughout much of the continental United States and Canada, and they're especially common in larger planned unit developments (PUDs). These houses often had dark earth tone color schemes, and made generous use of natural materials like fieldstone and stained wood. Some bullet points: * Separate living, dining, and kitchen/family room. * 3 bedrooms (1 master suite). * Den/office that can double as a fourth bedroom. * 2.5 bathrooms. * Ground floor mud/laundry room. * 2 car attached garage, flush with the front elevation. * Large sliding glass doors in the back, so those in the family room, kitchen, or master bedroom can 'commune with nature' while staying indoors. * Four-sided design, with consistent architectural details on all sides. * Full basement. This model is meant for form-based zoning code illustration. To keep things simple, interior detail work is limited to floors, walls, doorways, ceilings, stairwells, and stairs.
