Federal/Adam house plans have their origins in the classical formality of the post-colonial 1780-1820 period. Grand and gloriously spacious, these plans sometimes reveal surprises like oval rooms that are illuminated by large six-paned, double hung and half-round Palladian windows. Festooned with classical garlands, urns, and dentil moldings, the exterior is sure to make a lasting impression. Perfectly at home in the finest neighborhoods along the Atlantic coast, Federal/Adam house plans are guaranteed to delight history lovers as well as those with a taste for impressive style.

Peaked Rooflines

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

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.
