What do you think of when you see theses types of houses? That this house is nice? That this house looks like it’s on the west coast or somewhere that’s very sunny. Well your right. Theses types of houses are called Mediterranean Style houses. You can identify this house as a Mediterranean style house because typically Mediterranean style houses have a red tile roof and a stucco exterior wall. Mediterranean style house are called this because they originally come from the Mediterranean countries, particularly Spain, France and Italy. That’s why this picture of the house has a kind of Italian feel to it.
Now the question is what is the designer trying to convey with this style of house. Well first lets dissect the meaning of the red tile roof. A tile roof conveys the message of the houses location. Most houses with tile roofs are located by the coast or where there is a lot of sun. For example, there’s a lot of houses with tile roofs in California and Arizona. So with the tile roof the author is sayings that he house is located by the cost or its very sunny. Next we have stucco exterior outer wall for the middle and right side and a stone exterior wall that covers the left exterior wall. This gives the house nice look and I believe it appeals to the everyday customers that believe that stone and stucco are a good mix.
