Why Are So Many New Homes Black and White?
The minimalist spin on the modern American McMansion partly stems from a popular home improvement show.
Drive down any residential street in an affluent American suburb and you’re likely to find shiny new homes replacing 20th-century abodes.
Many of these new houses aren’t built in local styles to reflect the character of the neighborhood or town.
They’re so-called minimalist modern farmhouses, painted white, with black roofs, window frames, and railings, seemingly adrift from architectural context.
American homes have changed drastically over the past 150 years.
In the late 19th century, many well-to-do families lived in Victorian-style mansions or Neoclassical homes modeled on ancient Greek and Roman structures.
Author summary: New homes in America often feature a black and white minimalist design.
