Mediterranean Style House Plans
For a list of trusted home plan firms specializing in Mediterranean home designs, please visit the Mediterranean Home Plans Directory.
Mediterranean style house plans are prominent across the Southern States and often influence Southern-style architecture.
Mediterranean style house plans are best known for their low-pitched, tile roof that is often red (the color of clay). Mediterranean-style homes are often stucco, and include arched windows and columns.
The Mediterranean home was largely designed as such due to the climate. Because the Mediterranean region enjoys abundant sunshine and a laid-back Caribbean lifestyle the colors used in Mediterranean home decoration often reflect this. Mediterranean homes are often paint to match the hues of their surroundings - the azure blue ocean, the red and green tropical plants and the bright orange and yellow summer sun and sand. Vivid reds, terra-cottas, greens, blues and yellows are very common in Mediterranean style house plans.
Tile is also a popular feature of Mediterranean homes because it's very inexpensive. Tile is used to accent the walls, roofs, floors, countertops, showers and walkways in Mediterranean homes. Tile along with limestone, granite, brick and concrete and pebbles are also used in floors because they are cool on bare feet and impervious to moisture.
