Mediterranean style homes are a refined version of Spanish colonial homes.
They are found prominently across the valley, and make up the largest portion of custom homes.
Spanish Colonial style homes are the foundation for what we call mediterranean. Where Spanish colonial style homes can be more masculine and darker in color pallet, Mediterranean homes are softened with lighter finishes and a more balanced palate.
There are a number of iconic materials used in this design style. Clay tile roofs, arched doorways, Juliette balconies and custom iron work, intricate carved columns, shutters, french doors, stucco & plaster walls, wood rafter tails and beams are all commonly found in this style of home.
Materials groupings are typically more complex with mixed materials, and a focus on craftsmanship. Complicated and varied ceiling designs are found throughout the home.
