Railroads: [Verticals and Horizontals]
The Bunglaow style home was the most common style for the Arts and Crafts Period in the 1920’s. It is usually characterized by low-pitch roofs, overhanging eaves, exposed rafters under the eaves, and a front porch beneath an extension of the main roof. The idea of verticals and horizontals in the early 1920’s railroad system was very prominent. Taking this and the essence of the Arts and Crafts era, my design creates a pleasing aesthetic and an overall sense of warmth. After researching and looking at images of the railroad system, I noticed how the vertical and horizontal elements worked together to create one system and wanted to incorporate that into my design.
