Types of houses in Oregon

1. Bungalow

Bungalow architecture is peculiar in Oregon compared to other states in the USA. Bungalows are usually tall monumental buildings, but they are just single-storied houses with steep-sloped and overhanging eaves in Oregon. They have a spacious veranda with concrete flooring immediately surrounding the house. Porches are elaborate with covered roofs and equally distanced circular columns. Horizontal glassed windows are planned just beside the front door. A staircase leading to the first floor with hefty wooden railings adds a royal vibe to the interiors.

2. Craftsman

Craftsman buildings in Oregon are usually built using raw materials brick, wooden planks, or stone. People seeking ready-made homes will like craftsman-style houses. Craftsman-style homes in Oregon are fully furnished. Asymmetrical facades with attached garages distinguish craftsman-style homes from other architectural styles. The exteriors, too, are palatial with metal railings or compound walls to fortify these buildings. These houses are multi-gabled at different stories, and chimneys embellish the floors. Earthy and aesthetic tones are dominantly used in these constructions. Craftsman houses in Oregon are either one or one and a half stories tall. The staircase is located inside the houses, with chimneys and turrets varnishing the roofs. Glassed windows with wooden frames define the outlook of the walls.

3. American ranch

American ranch homes are pervasive in Oregon. Although the basic architectural style resembles conventional ranch homes, American ranch dwellings are a bit reconditioned to match the vibe of Oregon. These houses are generally L or U-shaped dwellings with steep roofs, multiple gables, and attached garages. They are restricted to a single story with tall rectangular glass windows spread evenly across the dimensions of the house. The exteriors are as spacious as the interiors of the house. The minimum floor area ranges from 2000 to 3000 sq. yards.

4. Mid-century modern split level

Mid-century modern split-level homes are highly customizable in Oregon. The floors are flat or slightly slanted. The houses, too, are sometimes slanted or inclined on inclined landscapes. Concrete and wood are the most commonly used raw materials in these constructions. They are primarily two or two and a half stories tall and not more than that. Garages are requisite for these buildings. Glasses are used instead of windows. Vibrant dark colours are used in these constructions. These houses look like double-decker houses. Multiple floors look disjoined with bald floors and overhanging eaves. Glasses are extensively used in these houses, with wooden planks used for decorative purposes. These glasses are arranged linearly. Split-level houses do not emphasize much on ancient architectural elements or the exteriors. They are simple and minimalistic.

5. Portland foursquare

The four-square buildings too in Oregon are different and unique. Generally, Oregon is specialized in modifying conventional construction styles. Portland foursquare dwellings are sophisticated and redesigned foursquare houses. Portland foursquare buildings first rose to prominence around the early 20th century. These residences are a perfect blend of townhouse rural-style houses and sophisticated modern architecture. The roofs are bald sometimes and imperceptibly slanted, sometimes with obscurely overhanging eaves. These houses are restricted to two or two and a half floors and not extended beyond that. Earthy tones like green, maroon, white, brown, and other English colors are domineeringly used. Wide front covered porches with sparsely distributed columns are other defining features of these houses.

6. Victorian

Victorian-style houses replicate the quintessential victorian era architecture of England. Victorian architecture flourished with gothic influence and intricate designs during the 19th century. Pointed arches, domes, cylindrical turrets, and pitched roofs define the roof architecture of victorian homes. These residences are monumental and extend not less than two-story height. They use vibrant colours in the construction. The exteriors are as spacious as interiors. Tall rectangular windows with two divisions linearly spaced adjacently spruce up the building. Large plantations across the entire dimensions of the exteriors with lights and other additional embellishments are an added attraction to these houses. Porches, balconies, and entrances are wide with equally spread circular columns and wooden railings intricately designed.

7. Tudor revival

Tudor revival-style homes are a sophisticated version of Tudor homes that look like England’s townhouse-style homes. Redbrick, stone, and wooden planks are commonly used in construction. Steep roofs with multiple gables, overhanging eaves, and tall chimneys piercing through the roofs are distinctive features between Tudor and Tudor revival-style houses. Unlike traditional Tudor-style houses, Tudor revival-style homes are one or two-storied tall. Tall glass multipaned windows with wooden framing and ornate detailing add a lot of decoration to the places. American Tudor revival architecture is mainly recognized by its front separated gable for the main door. These dwellings' exterior or garden space is pretty dry, unlike other typical American exteriors. The roofs look like A-line houses. Wooden framing on top of concrete walls is another feature that is entirely peculiar to American Tudor revival style architecture.

8. Cape cod

Cape cod architecture is one of the most pervasive residential styles in Oregon. With aesthetic colours and pleasant exterior styling, Cape cod houses look like heaven on earth. Cape cod residences usually facilitate mid-sized families and cannot extend more than one and a half floors. Some cape cod residences fortify their properties with wooden compound walls—tall square-shaped windows with wooden framing tart up the entire building. Tall chimneys pricking through the roof are one of the dominant features of these houses.

9. Townhouse

Townhouse architecture is another rampant architectural style in Oregon. These buildings are mostly restricted to two stories with no elaborate exteriors. These dwellings are devoid of porches, balconies, and verandas.

10. Cascadian

Cascadian-style houses are pretty voguish in Canada. These houses are similar to ranch-style homes. It looks like a consolidation of different constructions stuck together. With multiple gables, other rooms and roofs are stacked up one another. Square-shaped windows with numerous panes in front of the home are one mandatory architectural element, whereas attached garages are another mandatory feature. They may be extended to not more than one story height. Brown and maroon colours are the most commonly used colours in these houses. The exteriors are primarily absent, with a very shallow parking space in these dwellings.

11. A-frame

A-frame houses are practically shelters under one single roof. The roofs extend to the bottom or surface of the ground. They can be primarily one story tall and not more than that. They do not have porches, balconies, or exteriors. Glass windows are one mandatory architectural feature of these houses. While some A-line houses are elevated at height with a small staircase leading upto the front door and uncovered front porch, some are built on the bare ground.
