About: Ranch-style house

An Entity of Type: ArtForm105841151, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Ranch (also known as American ranch, California ranch, rambler, or rancher) is a domestic architectural style that originated in the United States. The ranch-style house is noted for its long, close-to-the-ground profile, and wide open layout. The style fused modernist ideas and styles with notions of the American Western period of wide open spaces to create a very informal and casual living style. While the original ranch style was informal and basic in design, ranch-style houses built in the United States (particularly in the Sun Belt region) from around the early 1960s increasingly had more dramatic features such as varying roof lines, cathedral ceilings, sunken living rooms, and extensive landscaping and grounds.

dbo:abstract
  • 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 geburtenstarken Nachkriegsjahrgänge 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. (de)

First appearing as a residential style in the 1920s, the ranch was extremely popular with the booming post-war middle class of the 1940s to the 1970s. The style is often associated with tract housing built at this time, particularly in the southwest United States, which experienced a population explosion during this period, with a corresponding demand for housing. The style was soon exported to other nations and became popular worldwide. Its popularity waned in the late 20th century as neo-eclectic house styles featuring historical and traditional decoration became more popular. Preservationist movements have begun in some ranch house neighborhoods, reinforced by an interest in the style from a younger generation who did not grow up in such homes. This revival has been compared to that which other house styles such as the bungalow and Queen Anne experienced in the 20th century. (en)
