Spanish Mediterranean house plans blend
two great home design styles into one.

This Spanish Mediterranean home is located in Fallbrook, California. It is almost 6,000 square feet in size.

View of the left side of house. The Porte Cochere is seen at right.

Spanish home design usually features a stucco exterior and often is seen with lots of arches inside and out (things such as arched verandas, arched windows and arched interior wall openings, etc.). Authentic Spanish house plans also feature exposed heavy timber rafter tails at the roof eave line instead of a fascia board or molded stucco eave.

Closer view of entry area and Porte Cochere. The exposed wood rafter tails can be seen along the eave line.

This photo shows the back side of the house.

This home features a large loft accessible from the Family Room below.

Another look at the front of this Spanish Mediterranean home.

Spanish Mediterranean house plans also share some similarities with Tuscan home design. Tuscan architecture uses more exterior stone, but all three styles (Spanish, Mediterranean and Tuscan) have low-pitched roofs (usually no steeper than a 4:12 pitch and often less). These home styles definitely have a broad appeal to the general population at large - and will continue to for a long time to come.
