craftsman style
Low-pitched roof aesthetic
Craftsman style refers to an American architectural and design movement from the early twentieth century, emphasizing handcrafted quality, natural materials, and simple forms.
Craftsman homes feature low-pitched roofs, wide eaves, exposed rafters, and prominent front porches with tapered columns: a charming craftsman bungalow from 1915.
The style extends to furniture and decorative arts that prize visible joinery and honest construction over ornament.
