Shoebox Style
Shoebox Style is an architectural style that refers to a housing design that is simple and functional. It is typically characterized by one or two storeys and a linear design, with rooms in a row. The windows and doors are usually evenly spaced and the roof is usually flat or slightly slanted. While the style is often associated with low-cost housing, the term can also be used to refer to more luxurious, higher-end housing that is built in the same style. Shoebox Style is often used to maximize space and design efficiency while minimizing costs.
Compact, efficient, economical.
