8 fantastic floor plan examples of Craftsman architecture

The end of the 19th century saw lots of industrial progress. The Craftsman architectural style arose in America to reflect the arts and crafts movement in Britain, a focus less on mass-production and more on original, hand-made design.
Using locally-sourced materials like wood, glass, and metal, Craftsman buildings are a brilliant opportunity for the tiny home builder to showcase their handicraft skills. Decorative brackets and mixed materials make the Craftsman home a true reflection of the owner's taste.
