Spotlight On: Shingle Style Homes

New England Architecture Marks These Stunning Homes

Shingle style architecture has become synonymous with East Coast class. Made popular with the rise of the New England school of architecture in the late 1800s, this architectural style focuses on shapes and flows instead of ornamentation. I am a huge fan of shingle style homes! Here is a look at some distinctly, beautifully American homes in the shingle style.

The shingles tie this unique 19^th-century windmill in Long Island in with the main house, which was renovated by architect Andrew Pollock.

The exterior talents of Botticelli & Pohl Architects and interior skills of designer Elissa Cullman perfect this Nantucket home.

Perfect for a summer retreat, this Sagaponack, New York home was architected by Taryn Christoff and Martin Finio.

Robert A.M. Stern Architects and design firm S. R. Gambrel joined forces to lend the breezy, fresh feel to this shingle style home.
