Tudor
The name Tudor is derived from the period in which these buildings were built.
It started between the 15th and 17th centuries during the Medieval period of
architecture. The features of this architectural style include a low arch, angled
roof, grouped windows, and masonry chimneys.
Elizabethan Architecture
The Elizabethan architectural style derives from the period of Elizabeth’s reign
when many houses were built in this style, and only the wealthier people lived
in it. The glass design dominates the exterior as a way of filling the house with
natural light.
Baroque
Georgian
Roman architecture was the greatest influence during the Georgian era, around
1780 and 1820. The classical exterior architecture is what makes the Georgian
period unique, along with a detailed interior design. What makes the Georgian
design special are the high sectioned ceilings with characteristic colors such as
lavender, pink, pea green, and light blue.
Post-WWII
The post-war period in the architecture of British buildings set a new era of
architecture by moving on from older building styles but incorporating some bits
and pieces of vintage architecture. Some old buildings were renovated and
embodied modernism along with international style.
