 Southwestern Architecture |
 |
 |
|
inspired by traditional homes of the Southwestern tribes.The plain, cubed design is softened by its rounded corners, wood lintels around the windows, and rustic wood beams extending from the facade.
This example of Southwestern architecture was named for Arizona's territorial days,
prior to statehood in 1912. It features a flat roof over its brick construction.
When combined with natural desert landscaping, the Territorial can be a very low maintenance home.
A very common style of house in and around Tucson, the Ranch is a one-story residence
that sprawls across the home-site.
It is usually constructed of red brick. The roof
stretches out beyond the walls to provide shade and protection from the heat.
A Ranch is also distinguished by low ceilings.
Reminicent of the architectural details of old Spain, such as arches and plaster
or concrete ornamentation around the windows, the California Spanish Ranch
is another one-story dwelling. The home is often built of block or framed
stucco with a combination flat and pitched roof accentuated by
clay tiles or wood shingles.
Usually built of frame stucco with a tile roof, the Comtemporary home
has large windows to showcase the city's spectacular desert and mountain
views. 
Soaring cathedral ceilings and split-level floor plans also
distinguish the Contemporary home. Many of the newer homes in Tucson were
built in this style.
Modern homes are becoming more abundant in the Tucson area, particularly
in upscale and foothills neighborhoods.
They feature a lot of glass in both large windows and glass walls. Also, the ceilings are high and the floor plans tend to be more open.
