The one image shown depicted a specific subset of the Allemanic style, a form developed for visual impact. The type I am referring to would be more of a 'country allemanic' if you will, the style prevalent on farmhouses and in villages, rather than the ornate frames of city buildings.

or for a more ornate, upscale version:



and as a point of clarification, what I in fact have in mind here is actually the Southern Allemanic style, and not the general Allemanic style as a whole. Some forms of Allemanic can be quite complex! The southern style is often marked by its austere simplicity, and functional building style. Exactly what you might expect from Swiss farmers.
