What Is A Ranch Style Home?

At Novak Remodeling, while we can masterfully recraft, redesign, and reimagine homes of all shapes and styles, there’s one style that we specialize in ranch-style homes.

Of all the different types of home styles, the ranch is one of the most popular in Los Angeles. An American style of architecture, the ranch design arose in the 1930s. It was presented as an alternative to the European, vertical-style homes that dominated the 19^th and early 20^th centuries, such as the brownstone-, Queen Anne-, Greek Revival-, and Gothic cottage-style homes.

The ranch-style of architecture was inspired by ranches in Mexico. They gained popularity in California; hence the reason why this style of architecture is so popular in Los Angles and the surrounding areas. The key features of a ranch-style home include the following:

• Horizontal layout. The ranch design was a nod to the mid-20^th century growth of the United States. During this time period, land in rural areas away from big cities was inexpensive and infrastructure growth focused on the development of highways across the country. Ranch-style houses evoked simplistic, informal, laidback, living. The design was low-slung, spread out, and sat within close proximity to the land; similar to an actual ranch.
• Single story. Traditionally, ranches are single-story houses; however, there are also split-level and raised ranches, which feature a single-story on one side of the structure that then opens up into a ½-story or two-stories on the other side.
• Flat or low-pitched roof. The vertical-style architecture that ranch-style homes were designed as an alternative to, featured steeply pitched gabled roofs. The new design, instead, featured flat or low-pitched roofs; however, they can also feature overhanging eaves.
• Attached parking. Ranch architecture was introduced at the same time the automobile was becoming popular in America. As such, this style of house usually features attached parking in the form of either a garage or a carport.
• Rectangular, L-, or U-shaped open floor plan. Generally, the floor plan of a ranch-style house is rectangular, L- or U-shaped, and the floor plan is designed to surround an exterior patio. Additionally, the floor plan is open in nature. The bedrooms are usually situated on one side of the house, while the common areas, including the kitchen, living, and dining room are on the other side, and these common areas lack walls between them or feature low-lying half-walls, which allows these spaces to flow into one another; like one large room.

Types of Ranch Style Architecture

There are several different renditions of ranch architecture, including:

• California. The original ranch, this style was designed by Spanish colonial masters, and later, Cliff May, a famed architect, modified the original design. Some of the elements of the California ranch were inspired by Arts and Crafts. They feature an L- or U-shape and typically, they have an open courtyard in the middle.
• Suburban. This style rose to popularity in the 1940s, when post-World War II residential construction boomed in the United States. The suburban ranch is smaller than California Style, is usually built on concrete slabs, and features an open floor plan, like the California-style ranch. They were extremely popular in planned “cookie-cutter” residential suburban locations.
• Split-level. While most ranches are single-story, the split-level features three levels of living space. The design of this style borrows a lot from the suburban ranch. The front door opens onto the main living area, which features the common rooms. Stairs lead to the sleeping quarters, and additional staircases can lead to additional living areas.
• Raised ranch. This style features an upstairs and downstairs; essentially, it’s two levels with one on top of the other. An exterior staircase leads to the front door, which opens onto a landing, with one set of stairs leading up and another set leading down. The kiting, dining room, living room, and bedrooms can be located either upstairs or down. This style is ideal for mother-daughter living arrangements or for rental income, as the two levels can remain separated.
• Storybook ranch. As the name suggests, the design of a storybook ranch resembles something that came out of Hollywood. They’re also dubbed “Cinderella” ranches and feature custom exteriors and interiors that far exceed the design of other types of ranch-style homes; for example, they can feature diamond-shaped windows, ornamental trim, exposed rafters, and vast square footage.
