01.
Traditional
Residential design in Oklahoma has included brick and stone dating all the way back to the land run in 1889. Traditional architecture pulls from multiple historical architectural styles. These homes often feel simple yet classic. There is a love of symmetry in traditional design with very little ornamentation.

Modern Craftsman
Most historic craftsman style homes in NW Oklahoma City are found closer to city center (think Midtown), in recent years we have seen a resurgence of the craftsman design. These homes are often built with brick or stone and wood siding. They often feature exposed rafters, gabled roofs, front porches with support columns and wood framing. The interior is often open floor plan.

Modern Farmhouse
The Modern Farmhouse is still a huge trend in the Oklahoma City metro. This is a 21st century take on the American Farmhouse. These homes often include large front porches, clean lines, rustic wood (flooring, exposed beams, cabinets, etc.), black metal (window frames, door knobs, hardware, stair railing, etc.), neutral color palettes, and industrial accents.
