Residential Architectural Vernacular Nationally

 

The architectural vernacular of the USA is the classic suburban home archetype. Contemporary suburban architecture typically looks very similar due to new technologies such as air conditioning, allowing a standardised aesthetic nationwide, appose to following the historical vernacular of the region derived by the climatic condition. However, historical homes change dramatically by region to co-operate with the climate. For example, such historical homes in Maine have a 'British Colonial' look, while in hotter California, 'Spanish Colonial' is more popular.
