French Country House Plans
Also known as French Provincial, French Country house plans are inspired by the rustic manors found across rural France. Particularly impressive on large properties, French Country style home plans also fit well into upscale suburban enclaves. French Country home styles range from modest farmhouse designs to estate-like chateaux combining rustic warmth of say, exposed wood beams with elegant European details like tall louvered shutters. Signature features include hipped roofs, walls of smooth plaster, brick, or stone, and arched windows and doors. Most French Country homes are two-story. More elaborate designs can include Georgian-style quoins, Palladian windows, Normandy-style turrets, and dormer windows.
