Mediterranean House Plans

Builders Plan Mart's Mediterranean style refers to one-story floor plan and design elements found in Italian villas, Spanish Revival and Mission Revival homes to create an elegant look and feel. Also referred to as the Tuscan style, it has a trademark stucco masonry-veneered exterior walls and low-pitched tile roof. Courtyards and open arches allow for breezes to flow freely through the house and verandas.

Other features include full-length first-story windows with radius top, wide overhanging eaves supported by decorative brackets, upper story windows usually smaller and less elaborate than the windows on the main level. Common decorative details include quoins, pedimented windows, classical door surrounds, molded cornices, and belt courses.

Builders Plan Mart's Mediterranean house plans echo the relaxed, outdoor lifestyle of the region that gives them their name.
