In the Mediterranean Style  ..... 

This group of Mediterranean home plans was developed after several years of European wanderings and studies of the classical evolution of Italian/French architecture.  Our Italianate floor plan designs reflect a period of architecture commonly found in and around Florence between 1450 and 1550.  The style is generally referred to as the "Early Renaissance."  These homes reflect much of the period via arched arcades, iron railed flower balconies, stone entablatures and string courses.  The French "Mas" design is typical of those in the South of France being influenced by the traditional Romanesque fortified  farm house or "clo" of the Medieval period.  As in France the home was created around a courtyard and is detailed traditionally with iron railed openings and operable wood shutters.

Browse the Mediterranean floor plans we offer to see why we are known as one of the most diverse historic home designers and builders in the nation. Our Mediterranean home plans include a wide range within the style so it's easy to find a home that truly portrays your tastes.  Following the links by our summary descriptions shown below leads you to a longer, more detailed description of each floor plan.
