One of the most popular home styles of the 21st century is the craftsman built home. This style of home first appeared during the late 1800’s and remained popular until the early 1900’s. Now, making its comeback in modern architecture, the craftsman style home provides the perfect balance of luxury and that true ‘home’ feeling.

Built of Natural Materials

Many of the contemporary custom craftsman homes have a strong sense of authenticity by what the homes are composed of. A craftsman house is mostly built from genuine wood, stone, bricks, and other natural materials. Not only does it have an ecological approach to design, but also natural beauty and high-end luxury.

Porches with Pillars

A signifier of craftsman homes is a porch with pillars that bracket the entrance of the home while supporting the roof. When neighbors come over to chat for a while you have space to host them without them impeding on your personal space. Especially if you weren’t expecting visitors! These pillars are secured on either pedestal bases of stucco or stone, the choice is yours for whatever fits your style. In Nebraska, we are always welcoming our friends and families to our home, and this outdoor space provides the perfect entrance to your custom build.

Exposed Beams

Craftsman homes have a strong emphasis on exposed beams so much so that they are generally featured on both the outside and inside of the home. For homeowners in the Lincoln, Nebraska area who desire a vintage charm to their home, this is a must for you! The exposed beams can make your custom home feel more rustic and make the space, including the beams, feel bigger!

Craftsman custom homes can adapt to fit our modern world, but also can be restored to give homage to our pasts and where we came from. The best part is you can do both with True North! The benefit of craftsman homes is the versatility of the home and the style it possesses, while providing the luxury you always wanted.
