Georgian Architecture

Georgian Interior Design

Georgian architecture is characterized by symmetrical facades and rectangular-shaped buildings with a symmetrical floor plan and center hall. This style is also known for its lower-pitched gable roofs, which give the buildings a more elegant and proportional appearance. The doorways of Georgian buildings were framed with decorative frontispieces, which added to their aesthetic appeal.

The double-hung sash windows of Georgian architecture were another hallmark of the style. These windows were distinguished by their thick muntins and frames, which helped to create a sense of order and balance.

Georgian architecture is known for its classical proportions and adherence to mathematical ratios, which give the buildings a timeless and sophisticated quality. This style has had a significant influence on American architecture and can be seen in some of the country's most iconic buildings, including Independence Hall and the White House.

Palladian Interior Design

In the early Georgian architecture era, American architects embraced Palladian principles of stately symmetry, classical elements, and grand appearance. Palladian features such as Corinthian columns, pediments, and the use of Palladian windows, which are large three-section windows with an arched center section that is larger than the two side sections, were commonly used in grand colonial homes, public buildings, and churches.

Palladian architecture also had a notable impact on the design of plantation homes in the Southern United States, which often featured hipped or flat roofs with grander buildings featuring domed sections. The use of Palladian architecture in America helped establish a distinctive colonial style that would later influence the development of neoclassical architecture in the United States.
