Classical Architecture - My House
Here are details of my house that follows classical architecture
rules.
My House Dimensions
Tuscan Order columns are plain (non-fluted) and taper for the top 5/7ths. The diameter at the bottom of the round column is 1/7th of the column height. The column height includes the base and top, but does not include the Entablature. The diameter of the top of the column is 5/6th of the base diameter.
Some interpretation is required for a particular building. Here are the dimensions I'm using for my house. I use a spreadsheet to calculate everything.
