Although the modern Georgian Style Home in North America traces its roots back to ancient Greek and Roman architecture, it has and continues to be one of the most enduring and popular architectural styles for residences particularly in old York (Toronto).

The key to successfully designing a modern Georgian Style home is understanding the history and vocabulary of the Georgian style, the rules for classical design and composition, and understanding what adaptations are essential to the historical examples so new Georgian home designs will live well for generations into the future.
