Authentic Tuscan architecture normally features tall, narrow wood-framed windows along with the use of window shutters. Many Tuscan style homes also have an enclosed courtyard. Most of the Tuscan style homes have a stucco exterior, and a large number also include some stone.
This Tuscan style home is over 5,500 square feet in size and is located in Saratoga Estates, Bonsall, California. It was built by
Mike Pierce.
We also did the plans for the two homes pictured at right (in the distance). The closest one was also built by Mike Pierce.

Mediterranean home design and Tuscan home design.
However, authentic Tuscan architecture tends to be a little less busy or intricate in appearance. And that basic "Italian villa" approach has worked well for many, many years.
