ENGLISH RENAISSANCE: NEOCLASSIC

English designers and artists incorporated different styles such as Gothic, classicism and Renaissance, also incorporating local styles that would adapt to the local needs. The English Renaissance is classified into 11 different periods, from 1500 through 1810. 

One of the first periods is Tudor, this word is also associated with timber frame construction or wattle and daub, this type of architectural style can be found throughout Europe. 

The following period after Tudor is Elizabethan, one of the most iconic techniques from this period is the wood on wood connection or mortise and tenon in the furniture.

During the English Renaissance, architecture changed in style, architects and designers started using ornaments and decorations. Windows were bigger in size for better lighting and to provide heat to the interior spaces. Stones and corn-wall were used as a method of decoration.
