Not every house sided in shingles represents the Shingle Style, but many homes being built today have classic Shingle Style characteristics -- rambling floorplans, inviting porches, high gables and rustic informality.

For the Yacht Club Resort at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Robert A. M. Stern imitates sedate, turn-of-the-century summer homes of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
