Assessing the architecture of England, it is difficult to be indescribably delighted, since not everyone liked it. The fundamental factors of English architecture were such concepts as conservatism and rigor. Houses made in this style are traditionally considered one of the most fundamental, and therefore reliable. Among the structures, it is almost impossible to find wooden or block buildings.

In most cases, English-style houses are made of stone, outwardly they are very massive, and the period of their operation is not limited by time. The facade of a private house in the English style is always very large; plaster or brick is used for decoration. The buildings have an elegant design, because they combine fundamental power, exquisite refinement and precision, nobility and luxury. Initially, it may seem that you are not looking at an English house, but a real medieval palace, which at the same time beckons with its grandeur and repels with cold powerful walls.

Features of the facades of private houses, made in the English style:

• The walls are built of natural stone or brick.
• Carved elements, drawings and patterns are simply not appropriate here.
• Mandatory attribute - columns.
• Calm colors, no bright colors or accents.
• Asymmetry in the external appearance of a private house.
• Must have an attic.
• The roof should have a large angle of inclination of the slopes.
• The porch is minimal or non-existent.
• The area adjacent to the house should be decorated with trees and shrubs.
• In everything, accuracy, accuracy and purity of lines must be observed.

In general, at the moment, all English architecture is divided into three types, each of which has developed in a particular historical period of time. Each of the directions has its own basics and features, but at the same time, none of them can be combined with each other or a different style. All branches of English architecture have certain elements inherent in them; no one is allowed to violate the boundaries of style.

Victorian era: decor and bold color combinations

The Victorian branch of the English style recognizes the decorativeness of the facade of the house and the use of contrasting colors. This style appeared at a time when people first began to pay attention to the convenience of housing, its appearance. Here, special attention was paid to the comfort of living, planning and free space. With the help of artificial decorative objects and their active production, the poor people were able to decorate their homes, making them more interesting and attractive.

Distinctive features of the Victorian style:

• The roof structure has steep slopes.
• There is a complex asymmetry due to a large pile of small details.
• The pediment "creeps" on the facade of a private house.
• The turrets have different shapes and sizes.
• Spacious veranda.
• The walls are decorated with siding or stone.
• Stucco molding, patterns and ornaments are actively used.
• Bay windows destroy the space and protrude beyond the facade.
• Decorative consoles and supports.

One of the main parameters that immediately “give out” a Victorian house was large and rounded windows that protruded far beyond the facade, they somehow resembled the portholes of a ship. Thus, the English citizens saluted and expressed gratitude to the fleet, which discovered new lands and enriched their country.

Stained-glass windows and forged metal elements were also used for decoration. A modern Victorian house is clad in clinker panels, brick or shingles. All decorative details (windows, doors and cornices) are painted in colors that will play in contrast with the walls.

Tudor houses

Small and somewhat fabulous houses that existed in the Tudor era received their own stylistic direction, as they have an unsurpassed appearance, which has no analogues. In fact, the buildings had a rough and brutal look, and they were distinguished by such features:

• The masonry of the house is made of red brick.
• Large chimney (in most cases located closer to the facade).
• Small dormers.
• Lack of any symmetry.
• High pediments, which also do not have symmetry.
• The roof structure has jagged edges and steep slopes (in some cases, imitation of straw was made).
• The entrance to the house is constructed in the form of an arch lined with large stones.

The whole essence of the facade of a private house in the Tudor style is the lack of decoration, since solid brickwork is produced here.

Georgian architecture: simplicity and luxury in the exterior of a private house

Georgian style is a modern urban style not only in England itself, but throughout the UK. This majestic, pompous and solid style, combining luxury and simplicity, has long won the hearts of all the British. The capital of England (London) is almost 100% built up with buildings made in this style.

Distinctive features of the pompous Georgian style:

• The presence of symmetry, its strict observance.
• Straight lines, angles, clear lines.
• Windows of the same height and width, which are evenly spaced throughout the house.
• No special embellishments.
• Brickwork.
• In the classic case of building a house in that style, the main facade of the building contains 5 windows.
• Entrance with a portico, quite low.
• The roof has a small angle of inclination of the slopes, is located almost flush with the walls, there are practically no overhangs.
• Paired chimneys.
• On both sides of the door are decorative semi-columns.

The facade of a private house in Georgian style combines the Renaissance and antiquity. It is not difficult to find a place here for cornices, stucco moldings, sculptures and moldings that can decorate any home. When creating modern houses in the English style, polyurethane products are used, with the help of which they imitate gypsum stucco molding or stone decorative masonry. Brickwork is replaced with a clinker thermal panel. The only thing that has remained beyond the control of time is the plastering of the outer walls.

Our clients are constantly talking about "English style" houses. And each of them means different things. It's time to deal with the English houses. We bring clarity.

Let's get rid of excessive detailing of styles and historical twists and turns. We will cut off majestic castles and huge residences. Fortunately, everything fits into a simple scheme. In the "classical" suburban private architecture of England, three periods can be distinguished, in which three images of residential buildings have developed. If we hear about an English-style house, most likely we are talking about one of these three images.

Here it should be noted that all these once established styles are willingly repeated by the modern generation of architects and willingly bought by homeowners. They do not mix, because each has its own canons, which cannot be stepped over without leaving the boundaries of style - English styles are very different.

Tudor style (1500-1600)

Rustic medieval English house from fairy tales. The style proved to be resistant, despite the order architecture of the Italians, which penetrated everywhere into Britain.

Features of the English Tudor style - a brutal look. Very high gables on the main façade, often of different sizes. Huge chimney, next to the front door on the main facade or side. Arched entrance. Small dormers. Sometimes an imitation of a thatched roof. In new versions of buildings, large bay windows are made on the facades.

Tudor style features

• Very high gables
• Steep roof, often with a broken edge.
• Dedicated chimney, often on the main façade
• Windows with small glazing
• Asymmetrical plan and general view
• small dormer windows
• The main entrance is often lined with a large stone

Georgian style 1700-1800

We can say that this is a democratic version of the Palladian style, which was used in England at the same time in stately residences. The style is serious, sometimes even pompous, but quite simple.

It is from these houses that London is made up. Georgian is the urban English style of modern Britain. Georgian style can be traced even with its bold modifications. Most often, this style is meant by our compatriots when they mention the English style.

Even if the facade is not symmetrical, in the old urban development of London
Georgian style is still readable.

Examples of Georgian houses in our database of facades.

Features of the Georgian style

• Rectangular, symmetrical plan.
• Uniform distribution and dimension of all windows.
• Brick, little decorated walls,
• Low entry with portico or crown
• Roof slopes of medium height.
• Minimum roof overhangs.
• Five windows on the main facade (in the classic version)
• Twin pipes
• Pilasters on the sides of the door
• Doors with panels

Victorian 1800-1900

At that time in England, construction was not regulated by the state, as, for example, in France, so young English architects willingly practiced on private houses. A lot of practice led to free composition. The architects paid attention to the internal convenience of the house and the variety of social roles of the residents. Less attention was paid to the external attractiveness of the house, Palladian and generally Italian order canons began to be forced out in favor of a convenient layout.

The Industrial Revolution and the mass production of decorative items made it possible to decorate even relatively poor estates. Hence the general decorativeness of the facades. The most striking style of the Victorian era is the style of Queen Anne.

Victorian style features

• steep roof
• Complex asymmetrical shape
• Gable (pediment) overlooking the main facade
• Veranda framing one or two sides of the house
• Turret (round or square)
• The walls are decorated with stone, fachwerk or siding)
• ornamental patterns
• bay windows
• Decorative consoles

If you know these three English styles, you will recognize all classical English architecture. Unless, to expand our cultural horizons, next time we’ll talk about

For more than one year it has attracted the attention of many people, both ordinary people and professional designers. This stylistic direction in architecture successfully combines rigor and functionality, while demonstrating to others the character of the owner of the house. The English style offers the best features of Georgian and Victorian period building. The finished buildings are well recognizable by the high roof with red tiles, large low windows and the external roughness of the facade, which remains bare brick unlined.

Many construction companies today are ready to build interesting projects of English-style houses to order, based on any wallet, taste and preferences. Their database contains a huge number of photos with drawings of finished projects. A few ideas are presented below.

English houses

Liverpool Project

For example, the Liverpool project is a two-story luxury cottage made of aerated concrete blocks. The building has a beautiful brick cladding and a terrace in the backyard.

The area of ​​the house reaches an impressive 263 m2, which is more than enough for a large family to live in comfort. Narrow high windows are well balanced by a two-story roof with dark metal roofing. The use of the latter allows you to achieve proper stability and lightness in the appearance of the house.

The base of the building consists of a slab and grillage, which practically do not protrude above the ground. This gives the house the right earthy effect, thus compensating for a couple of floors with large narrow windows. By the way, through the latter, a sufficient amount of natural light penetrates inside at any time of the year, which is a big plus!

Entering from the street, you find yourself in the hallway. The front of the project offers a large hall, on the left - the entrance to the office. Located on the right side. There are also doors leading to the kitchen and bathroom. Going straight ahead, you can get into the spacious living room, behind which there is an exit to the terrace.

On the second floor, the English-style house offers four bedrooms at once, three of which have their own bathrooms. In addition, on the second floor there is access to a small but cozy balcony.

Project Grace

"Grace" in its appearance is somewhat reminiscent of medieval cathedrals. This similarity is achieved due to the narrowness and height of the structure. Despite this, the dwelling managed to retain the features characteristic of the classic English style.

And although outwardly the house looks small, the project offers its owners three floors at once, two of which are residential, and the third is an attic. The latter also has a considerable number of rooms. The total area of ​​​​the dwelling reaches 160 m 2. Construction takes place using foam concrete and aerated concrete blocks, which are then lined with brown and red ceramic bricks.

Below is the Canadian version of Grace.

A sharp high roof with a roof of similar dark metal tiles contributes to the impression of an elongated structure.

After entering, guests go straight to the spacious hall. Opposite it is the living room, which combines the functionality of both the kitchen and the dining room. On the right side there is a staircase leading to the second floor and a storage room. On the left - the entrance to the furnace and toilet.

Climbing up to the second floor of "Grace" you can find three cozy bedrooms. According to the project, one of the bedrooms has doors to the bathroom and dressing room. In addition, there is also a small storage room on the floor.

As for the attic, here the doors of the bathroom and a couple of bedrooms look towards the hall, opposite the stairs there is a spacious dressing room.

Project Gustave

The house in the English style according to the Gustave project looks rather compact, but in fact its area reaches a considerable 254.5 m 2. This is one of the best options for a country house.

Similar to past projects, Gustave is being built using gas blocks. The roof is identically made of metal sheets of tiles. The noticeable severity of geometric shapes is partly softened by a large semicircular window located above the canopy above the front door on the second floor. On the left side of the entrance is a spacious garage equipped with automatic gates.

From the inside, the house is quite spacious, a large hall, kitchen, laundry room, hallway and living room combined with a dining room are located on the ground floor. On the reverse side is a large one. The exit from the garage makes it possible to enter the technical room inside the building.

Going to the second floor you can see another living room, three spacious bedrooms and a couple of bathrooms with toilets. Gustave has a smaller number of beds compared to past projects, but all other rooms in the house are more spacious and large.

Project Edinburgh

The Edinburgh project looks like a photograph of Foggy Albion, however, this classic English house will easily fit into modern reality.

The roof of the building pleases with its deep dark color, and the beautiful dark brown brick neatly veneers the surfaces of all walls. Large square windows provide a good level of light in any weather. Behind the house there is a spacious terrace that allows you to place wicker tables and chairs. In the future, it will be pleasant to be here on warm summer evenings, admiring the beauty of nature.

Having a couple of floors, the cottage remains quite spacious, offering its users 237 m2.

Once in the house, the first thing you find yourself in the hallway, and then in a large hall. On the right side of the entrance there is a bathroom and a dressing room, on the left - a study, which neatly adjoins the living room. Slightly in front is a cozy kitchen combined with a dining room.

Rising to the second floor, three large bedrooms, a dressing room and a couple of bathrooms fall into view.

The old designs of English houses are chronologically the oldest, in terms of area they are much smaller than the Tudor houses that appeared at the end of the 15th century, and even more so the large country Georgian and Victorian cottages, and most of all resonate with the medieval style. The common ones are characterized by a steep pitched roof with cross-gables, large stone or brick chimneys at the front of the house, and small window openings of double-leaf windows. Entrances were often gables with a collapsed roof that was steep and straight on one side and carefully curved on the other. Doorways are arched or semicircular, richly decorated with fittings and outdoor lighting.

Architectural features of old English projects

• The roof is steep, pitched with complex intersecting gables
• Roof covering made of natural clay tiles, preferably old - with lichen or moss
• Massive dominating chimney
• Details may include half-timbered and narrow windows with wooden shutters.
• Finishing - natural or artificial stone, rough plaster and wood

Tudor houses

Tudor style houses are considered the next step in English cottage architecture. Tudor houses are usually combined - i.e. the first floor is designed from brick or stone, the second floor is an attic type, usually made using half-timbered technology or with decorative overlays made of timber. Roofs in Tudor style houses steep, pitched, with finely flared curves on the eaves, the windows are high and narrow. Tudor houses, like Old English ones, have massive chimneys or chimneys, but they are no longer put in the foreground and are located on the side or behind the house. We offer you to get acquainted with the finished projects of Tudor houses, or to carry out individual design of country cottages, carefully planned and functional, in accordance with your wishes.

Georgian houses

The Georgian style of architecture originated in England in the early 18th century and developed between 1720 and 1840. Houses in the English Georgian style are very easy to distinguish from other English projects - they are characterized by precise proportions and balance.

Characteristic Features of Georgian Architecture

• They usually have rectangular symmetrical shapes, windows and doors centered on the front facade.
• The most commonly used building materials are simple clay bricks in dark or light shades.
• Georgian houses are mostly two-story, but you can also design an attic project, or one-story.
• The roof is usually dark.
• The colors are discreet - various shades of red and burgundy, sometimes gray.
• Like any English home, a Georgian project must have a fireplace. Unlike earlier ones, here you can already do without a chimney attached to the side.

English Victorian designs

The Victorian style of architecture flourished for a century - from the 1810s to the early 1910s, but is still relevant today. Especially common in rural areas and suburbs of large US cities. Houses in this style have an asymmetrical facade, a steep roof, bay windows and towers decorated with spindles or carvings, porches with pillars and spacious covered terraces or verandas - with decorative railings.

Gables visually stand out on the facades. The decoration of English cottages in the Victorian style is decorated with shingles or siding, the roof is covered with patterned tiles. Traditionally, these houses are mostly two-story or with an attic.
