Find Your Signature Style

Choosing a home style is one of the most exciting parts of the custom home process! Whether you love the charm of a classic Cape Cod or the bold lines of contemporary design, Lilmac Builders can bring your architectural vision to life.

Here’s a quick guide to popular home architectural styles:

1. Traditional Colonial

Symmetrical designs, grand entryways, and formal rooms define this enduring style.

2. Modern Farmhouse

Think cozy meets clean: white siding, black window frames, open floor plans, and inviting porches.

3. Contemporary

Minimalist lines, large windows, flat roofs, and a strong connection to outdoor spaces.

4. Craftsman Bungalow

Handcrafted details like exposed beams, built-in cabinetry, and deep front porches set this style apart.

5. Mediterranean

Stucco exteriors, red tile roofs, arched windows, and lush courtyards evoke timeless elegance.

6. Cape Cod

Compact, symmetrical, and charming with steep roofs — perfect for cozy coastal living.

Finding a style that matches your personality ensures your home feels uniquely "you" from the curb to the kitchen.
