Project and photo of a house in the style of a ranch
When people think of the "Ranch" style, they mean the American approach to building houses. Among them there are Californian and American groups. However, no matter which group the house belongs to, it still remains an American invention. In the fifties of the last century, this style was very popular. Similar ranches began to be built in other regions: Europe and Australia.
Ranch-style house project with two garagesTrue, it should be noted that Australia has long been distinguished by its own style of building houses. He is very similar to the American, and his age is no less. nineOl000
History of development
The appearance of the ranch is largely connected with the time when the development of the American continent was actively taking place. According to historians, the appearance of the Ranch style is due to the Spanish heritage. If you look closely, you can find many similar details. nine0003 Two-Story Wooden Ranch Project

- bricks;
- stone;
- logs.
The main conditions of the project were:
- Construction speed;
- Small financial investment.
The Americans borrowed open verandas from the Spaniards for their ranches, which are made very large. They resemble the original patio. nine0003 Detailed layout of a private house in the style of "ranch"
This style became very popular in the twentieth century, when there was an economic revival.
These houses belong to economy class buildings. Residents of small towns can afford them.
The term "single-story America" is often heard. This refers to a similar project at home. When compared to other buildings, American-style cottages are very similar to farmhouses.

Ranch project with original architectureWarm climate, constant moving cowboys did not require the construction of buildings designed for long-term operation. nine0003

Layout details
Most American ranches have only one level. It is extremely rare to build houses that have two levels. Inside the house, certain geometric shapes have never been adhered to.
Since such a house was notable for its small dimensions, it was almost impossible to divide it to get several rooms.
Terrace Ranch OptionThe ground floor was made walkable and had two completely separate exits. One led to the terrace, the other to the courtyard. Sliding doors make your home look more spacious. The dining room is combined with the living room, and the bedroom is completely fenced off from all rooms. This is the only room in this house where you can hide from your family. nine0003
Today the American ranch project is highly functional. With an increase in the family, it is easy to make an extension to the building so that all generations can live in the same house. Such single-level buildings are very popular with the owners of individual buildings. But at the same time, it is necessary to foresee the laying of the most important communications in advance, to accurately plan all the premises of the building.
