Shingle Style: From 1874 to the Present

Just what is Shingle-Style? Generally these rambling houses are covered in shingles, although it will not even necessarily entail shingles at all. It frequently features a rock foundation, extensive verandas, a great deal of gables and eaves, asymmetry, layout that is axial thrown out towers the window, and yes, generally, shingles galore

In the change of the past century, architects and home-owners started to rebel from the elaborate fussiness of Victorian and gothic-style and went for something more less polished. Think following The Guilded Age involving the uber-rich’s residences like The Breakers in Newport as well as the pastoral, rough hewn Vanderbilt camp in the Adirondacks of the intense comparison. Individuals were loving the concept of “roughing it,” and the plainer appearance of shingle design was similar to the times of straightforward, Puritanical New England colonial fashion. Probably the rich yearned to get a little little the hobo lifestyle that has been occurring in the time (similar to when high fashion attempted to go grunge in the 1990s and you would see Blaine Trump in a gala in a $900 grubby Gaultier wool hat).

Cynicism apart when I think of Shingle-Style, I believe of the amazing house Diane Keaton had in “Something’s Gotta Give,” and the once-lovely Hamptons bungalow in “Grey Gardens.” The loaded class adored to construct big ramshackle “cottages” along the coasts of New England, and ferry, jump a train, or finally drive around to them about the week ends.

It Is fascinating to consider Shingle Style on an architectural time line. Someplace after Victorian, modern-day with Crafts and Arts, and before technologies permitted for International-Style, it is not difficult to see now why it still inspires architects. From Stanford White to Frank Lloyd Wright to Robert Venturi to Robert A.M. Stern, Shingle-Style has always morphed to participate in the the days, while supplying nostalgia for the grand time of its beginning over a century past. Below are a few good examples I Have located on Houzz. Some are the first bungalows, some are a whole lot more contemporary variations, some are simple and modest bungalows that only possess the character of the shingle design, if less the types.

Here is the supreme case of Shingle Style to me – verify out posts and the big rock foundation, the roof line as well as the grand verandas, and of course the setting.

Stylistic components are borrowed by this iteration of Shingle-Style including the aspects across the roof-line, from that design in addition to Victorian design.

I really like this contemporary interpretation. It appears to get types from vernacular constructions like sheds and barns, and plays using the geometry in an extremely Venturiesque manner.

This contemporary variant contains another well-known Shingle-Style attribute, the screened-in veranda. Frequently, an up stairs porch was contained at the same time.
