Ranch-style houses (also American ranch, California ranch, rambler or rancher) is a uniquely American domestic architectural style. First built in the 1920s, the ranch style was extremely popular in the United States during the 1940s to 1970s, as new suburbs were built for the Greatest Generation and later the Silent Generation. The style was exported to other nations and so is found in other countries.

  • Ranch-style houses (also American ranch, California ranch, rambler or rancher) is a uniquely American domestic architectural style. First built in the 1920s, the ranch style was extremely popular in the United States during the 1940s to 1970s, as new suburbs were built for the Greatest Generation and later the Silent Generation. The style was exported to other nations and so is found in other countries. The style is often associated with tract housing built during this period, particularly in the western United States, which experienced a population explosion during this period with a corresponding demand for housing. The ranch house is noted for its long, close-to-the-ground profile, and minimal use of exterior and interior decoration. The houses fuse modernist ideas and styles with notions of the American Western period working ranches to create a very informal and casual living style. Their popularity waned in the late 20th century as neo-eclectic house styles, a return to using historical and traditional decoration, became popular. However, in recent years, interest in ranch house designs has been increasing. Preservationist movements have begun in some ranch house neighborhoods as well as renewed interest in the style from a younger generation who did not grow up in ranch-style houses. This renewed interest in the ranch house style has been compared to that which other house styles such as the Bungalow and Queen Anne experienced in the 20th century, initial dominance of the market, replacement as the desired housing style, decay and disinterest coupled with many of teardowns, then renewed interest and gentrification of the surviving homes.
  • Ranch Style Houses bezeichnet eine typisch us-amerikanische Bauform von Einfamilienhäusern. Die ersten Ranch-Style Houses wurden in den 1930er Jahren gebaut, ihre Hauptbauzeit liegt in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren, als zunehmend Vorstädte für die Generation der Baby Boomer entstehen. Wegen des grundsätzlichen Baukonzeptes - einstöckiges Haus mit einem einfachen Bauplan - werden sie auch als Nachfolger des Shotgun Houses angesehen. Ihre Entstehung ist grundsätzlich mit der Zugänglichkeit von immer mehr Bevölkerungsschichten zu Automobilen und der Verfügbarkeit von Klimaanlagen zu sehen. Kennzeichnend für Ranch-Style Houses ist neben der Einstöckigkeit die asymmetrische Bauform, die häufig L-förmig ist, die einfache Anordnung der Räume und die Garage als Anbau. Sie wurden in der Regel als einfache Holzkonstruktion errichtet. Kritisiert werden Ranch-Style Houses, weil ihnen Stil fehlt.
