Yesterday was about the 1st part of the home styles that we have in the U.S. in hopes of educating me and everyone who will be reading it. It was not intended to be a 2 part blog, I just didn't know that there were a lot of house styles and influence that contributed with our current housing styles. It was fun researching the home styles and the history behind every home designs that we have.
One of the things I love the most about the houses in U.S. is the never ending surprise you might see being sold in the market. I seldom come across historic, exotic or post-modern homes; but it doesn't mean that they don't exist. Upon researching home styles, I have read through the history and evolution of the architecture of homes. But, all throughout the century; building a home and designing a home is always a form of art and one home is different from another. Nowadays, architects are being more artistic, more expressive and creative, thus, every home is a work of art.
Here are some House Styles under Exotic Revivals and Modernism.

1. Moorish Revival or Neo-Moorish
Adopted by architects of Europe and the Americas in the wake of the Romanticist fascination with all things oriental. It reached the height of its popularity after the mid-19th century, part of a widening vocabulary of articulated decorative ornament drawn from historical sources beyond familiar classical and Gothic modes. Characterized by unusual minarets and Moorish domes, unusual because the polychrome decorations are made out of corn cobs of various colors assembled like mosaic tiles to create patterns. - source:en.Wikipedia.org

2. Mayan Revival
This a modern architectural movement, primarily of the 1920s and 30s that drew inspiration from the architecture and iconography of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures. (source:en.Wikipedia.org) Though, this is not a common Hoe style in the U.S. Several establishments like hotels and theaters are styled in Mayan Revival. Though, Mayan- inspired decorations can be found incorporated in the interior design of a home.
