Abstract It seems amazing that in our contemporary society most of our new house designs are based on models imported from Europe, some of them over 300 years ago. Take the Cape Cod-style house , for example, which has been built in New England since around 1680. Essentially, a similar design is still built today in housing communities throughout the country. Why? Because the Cape Cod design is ideally suited to deliver maximum square footage within a minimum exterior building envelope.
