Spanish Architecture

Minimal Ornamentation

Spanish style design is all about making entertaining comfortable and relaxed. Thick masonry walls coated in stucco and red tile roofs function to keep the interior cool. Spanish floor plans may be arranged around a central courtyard, where shaded galleries block the hot sun and provide outdoor living space. Generally, Spanish style designs feature towers or turrets, romantic balconies, fancifully shaped columns, white interior walls, dark beams, and wrought iron details.
