Architecture Styles Types - Endless And Still In Vogue
Someone somewhere gets innovative and ends up creating ingenious house styles and themes. The United Kingdom has a rich architectural history, and various architectural styles have influenced the country's building habits over the centuries. Here are some notable architectural styles in the UK.
Gothic Revival Using Limestone
Gothic Revival is attributed to Limestones that drew inspiration from Mediaeval Gothic designs. Churches with steep gabled roofs, bargeboards, and lacey tracery personify the old Gothic architecture. Examples are the Houses of Parliament in London, with intricate, hollow spaces and expansive walls that have lived through ages and are still striding the royal carpets of history!
Georgian Style Architecture
The Georgian architectural style, characterised by geometrically perfect lines and curved proportions, prevailed during the reigns of the Georgian monarchs. The Royal Crescent in Bath is a famous example of Georgian architecture. Stones such as Granite create opulent structures for intricate Georgian kitchen designs. These elegant and symmetrical townhouses, constructed during the Georgian era (1714–1830), can be found in areas like Mayfair, Belgravia, and Kensington. Characterised by their distinctive facades, sash windows, ornate doorways, and classical proportions, Georgian townhouses exude a sense of grandeur and sophistication.
Victorian Themes And Monuments
The Victorian era had laid out a spectrum of architectural styles. These include Gothic Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, and Neo-Renaissance. The Curlicue designs, vibrant hues, and asymmetric structures make them soulful and sophisticated. London is renowned for its rows of Victorian terraced houses, especially in neighbourhoods such as Notting Hill, Islington, and Hampstead. These houses, built during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837–1901), feature ornate brickwork, bay windows, and decorative ironwork and often have characteristic colourful doors. Their uniform yet varied facades contribute to the charm of many London streets.

Art Deco In Architecture
Art Deco in architecture is popular in the 1920s and 1930s, embraced geometric forms, sleek lines, and decorative motifs. The Hoover Building in London and the Midland Hotel in Morecambe stand as living testimonies to the Art Deco design in the UK.
Modern Minimalism
Modern minimalism gained prominence in the 20th century, emphasising simplicity, functionality, and new materials like glass and steel. Key examples are the Barbican Estate in London and the Royal Festival Hall.
Posh Contemporary
