Federal - Adam House Plan Features
Peaked Rooflines
A feast for the eyes, their handsome brick exteriors and soaring temple-like entrance porticos make an unforgettable opening statement. The roof is typically peaked with little overhang, although larger versions sometimes feature a flat roof flanked by a decorative balustrade.
Symmetrical Design
Noted for its simplicity of style, subtle use of color and delicate detailing made famous by noted English architect, Robert Adam, Federal/Adam house plans are generally rectangular or square with four rooms on the first floor and two to three stories high. The interior design reflects the home's exterior symmetry, with large open rooms well-lit by an abundance of windows.
