Mediterranean House Plans
Mediterranean house plans draw design cues from the whole of the Mediterranean region, including Moorish, Byzantine, Italian and Spanish influences intermingled with traditions of Native Americans. Santa Barbara architect George Washington Smith helped popularize the style -- an important offshoot is called the Spanish Colonial Revival style -- in the 1920s with patio-oriented houses that have white plaster walls and tile roofs. A perennial favorite in warm climates, Mediterranean homes have evolved into an eclectic home style that's found across the country. Today Mediterranean homes are typically constructed with a stucco exterior, have shallow often red tiled roofs that create a wide overhang for needed shade in warm climates. In addition to such signature details as large windows and exposed beams, Mediterranean style homes include patios or courtyards and open arches to catch breezes. Mediterranean house plans tend to express a relaxed outdoor lifestyle through a traditional architectural vocabulary.
Historically, Mediterranean influences appeared in California, the Southwest, Texas, and Florida. Perhaps the most famous Mediterranean style mansions are Hearst Castle (1919-1947) by architect Julia Morgan, San Simeon, California (http://www.hearstcastle.com) and Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club, Palm Beach, Florida (http://www.maralagoclub.com ), originally built by heiress Margorie Merriweather Post in 1927. Both houses look to Spain for much of their inspiration, especially in the tile work. Important introductions to the style include Mediterranean Domestic Architecture for the United States by Rexford Newcomb, (Acanthus Press), which is a reprint of a classic early study; and Florida Architecture of Addison Mizner (Dover), which is a reprint of the original book on Mizner's architecture - he was Florida's most famous designer of Mediterranean-influenced mansions during the 1920s.
