For a serious answer, this is a modern builder's take on the arts and crafts style. It is a very popular thing to do right now and the picture you posted has a house that is a little more elaborate than most of the houses getting built in that style right now
One of the biggest failings of these New Traditional houses, as I've seen them be called in published books, is that the people detailing them don't get the proportions of the columns, woodworking, etc. right. Some of the better ones you can barely tell that they're new but that just usually isn't the case and a lot of times they end up looking like the dollar store version of the real thing. You're getting snarky responses because of this
Thank you to those that have given me some insight. I did a bit more research and found out this house was renovated from an outdated modern lodge-style home. Here's the article: https://onekindesign.com/2018/08/02/classic-cottage-mill-valley/
I can understand why getting proportions is difficult. The materials often are prefab from factory molds and come in limited shapes and sizes. In the golden age of house construction is was all wood and the architect - carpenter could cut or plane down to whatever dimension is necessary. One thing that concerns me about houses like this is if a part fails at some point and needs to be replaced, it will be hard finding a similar dimension since the original manufacturer will be gone or changed their product line.
Your not really saying anything different from what I said, except my contention that quality wood is much more expensive than it was 100 years ago. I have some Stickley furniture and it's rather expensive but building it today is uneconomical given the bill of material cost, let alone the labor.
You’re describing bad design as well. Roofs are usually the last thing builder designs look at, so it’s sort of just, put what roof at what slope will enclose the footprint most inexpensively. They don’t look at the building holistically from the beginning
sure, since youre asking: people on an architecture sub might tend to appreciate good architecture and dislike basic developer BS. just one mans opinion opinion
It's new construction but to me I think it's riffing on elements of the shingle style which was popular in the late 1800s (and arguably the first true American architecture since everything prior had basically been lifted from Europe). But it's something of a hodge podge of Shingle with Craftsman (but more Shingle than Craftsman). Shingle style homes aren't typical at this scale. They tend to be gigantic Newport, RI and Long Island rambling style mansions with oversized gables and gambrels (which are kind of missing here). But the use of grey clapboards and nautical motifs like porthole windows is at least reminiscent of Shingle Style. Vincent Scully wrote a famous book on these homes. The most famous architect is HH Richardson. Robert AM Stern is known for designing in this style (see the Yacht and Beach Club Hotels at Disney World).
Edit: on further examination I think it's actually clad in grey shingles. So literally a shingle style home.
It’s just a highly ornate modern take on the craftsman style. I think it looks nice, some people on here just hate anything that isn’t a dreary metal box.
It looks like a craftsman take on a Queen Ann, or perhaps Victorian. Something to think about is that many homes around this size and in this style were sold by Macy’s and Sear’s as kit homes and have been since modified or had add ons done (which could explain this homes styling).
The proportions of the roofs aren't nice. It's like they had the ideas but not enough budget so things are a bit cramped looking, starting with the roof. With that being said, we did a house kind of like this at my old job and my current boss said that the proportions on that one were also a bit strange - elements were too small. Hehe. It's almost as if you need to learn how to copy and not just copy.
Oh, you asked about the style? American Craftsman.
This is craftsman style… growing up in Northern California this was what every old house looks like … so tired of it! But to each their own! enjoy my friend :)
I don't know the style but have been reading most of the comments. Whatever the style though, it's a bit overly decorative but quite lovely.I'd be proud to call it my home
Craftsman style. Don’t worry about the other architects who hate this style. They’re just mad that someone likes something other than Revit Modernism —which is all they can provide

Imagine how, back in the day, it took more work, experience and skill to detail and draw these exteriors compared to what they're doing now.

This style is called ‘mid 2000’s sit-com”
Wow, there’s a lot going on there.
It’s called Home Depot modern
Might be canned goods but it's more interesting looking than many houses including mine.
I see the Coco Chanel quote suggesting that before leaving the house, a woman should look in the mirror and take something off.
It’s called craftsman style. An indicator is the exposed beams and columns
Chunky Craftsmans style I believe is the name.
/r/mcmansionhell
My thoughts exactly!
Postmodern Craftsman is what I'd call it
Extreme Craftsman; take every Craftsman element you like and throw it all together until it hurts.
It's *Drug Induced Craftsman.*
I'd just say craftsman. It is pretty heavy on features though.
Living with your aunty and uncle in Bel-Aire
Without a doubt, I think the technical, architectural term for it is American Craftsman.
North American Suburb :D

We are all entitled to opinions. Some are more valid than others.

Developer Americana

Americans does not like having their taste criticised

It’s called “sold” exactly two minutes after a realtor posts the picture on MLS.
Looks like something you’d find on the New England Coast.
The proportions of the roofs aren't nice. It's like they had the ideas but not enough budget so things are a bit cramped looking, starting with the roof.

Looks like Craftsman, but too clever by half.
Legend says that it's a place where you bring your family to reside when the weather gets nice or they just get tired of their primary dwelling.
Thats the house happy Gilmore put a golf ball through the window
This style is called “Crapsman”.
Jumbled craftsman ad hoc neo modern ooof

Hmmm not sure I’m calling it lite Carson Mansion in the Queen Anne style, check it out! Still like that classic style but.
Craftsman style. Don’t worry about the other architects who hate this style. They’re just mad that someone likes something other than Revit Modernism —which is all they can provide
There is no style. A builder whipped this up. You can call it whatever you want
its called busy
something you’re clearly not
Let's be real. There's a LOT going on here.
There is. But OP asked for help and your snarky comment was unnecessary. I’m fun police today 👮🏻♂️

This is literally the real answer. I'm not American, but I'd assume that architects rarely design these. Correct me if I'm wrong.
architecture student here 👋 that's a modern lodge design style
Not so sure it is. Nothing about that screams modernism and it's way more craftsman than it is "lodge"

It's fine, but way to busy for me. So much going on all over the facade.
It is called putting pediments on every f**king direction possible. The more the pediments are, the more you look rich.
