The Style

What Makes a Home Craftsman?

Born from the Arts & Crafts movement, Craftsman homes celebrate handcrafted details, natural materials, and honest construction.

The Craftsman style emerged in the early 1900s as a rejection of Victorian excess and industrial mass production. These homes emphasize simplicity, fine craftsmanship, and harmony with nature.

Southern California became the heartland of the movement, with architects like Greene & Greene creating masterpieces that elevated the humble bungalow to an art form.
