Southwestern House Plans
Southwestern house plans reflect a rich history of Colonial Spanish and Native American style with flat roofs, covered porches and round log ceiling beams. Inside, the asymmetrical floor plan of a Southwestern design invites discovery with interesting alcoves, spacious living areas and a fluid floor plan that's ideally suited to modern family life. Southwestern home plans are generally one story homes and commonly use a stone exterior for a unique appeal. Many Southwestern homes offer stucco walls and tile roofs to buffer the sun and heat of the Southwestern climate. Southwestern style architecture ranges from an adaptation of the Prairie style to a modern take on the famous primitive Adobe structures throughout the region, blending very modern architecture and floor plans with the adobe look, thus taking advantage of the clean straight lines and the smooth rounded corners.
