Shingle Style House Plans

Shingle style house plans blend classic charm with a relaxed, informal feel that feels just like home. Originating in New England and spreading to the West Coast, these house plans feature homes covered in shingles, creating a smooth, unified look that helps them blend into their surroundings. Known for their casual elegance, shingle style home plans often include irregular rooflines, wide porches, and a focus on horizontal lines.

Shingle style houses are designed to connect with nature, featuring large windows and open spaces that blend indoor and outdoor living. Inside, you'll often find open floor plans and natural materials that enhance the home's warm, welcoming atmosphere. This architectural style, often associated with summer cottages for vacationing, works beautifully in coastal or wooded settings.
