French
Country Home Plans
The French Country style combines
the best of old world elegance with comfortable
interiors. With it's roots in the sunny hillsides
of rural France, where each province has its
own colloquial style, French Country architecture
reflects a wealth of diversity. Old and new,
formal and informal elements are mixed in Houses
ranging from humble cottages and farmhouses to
grand chateaus.
Common elements include tall, thin windows, often with slat-board
shutters, steep roofs, multiple gables, and assorted arches (windows,
shutters garage openings and entries). Stucco and stone are frequently
used, trimmed with painted timbers, windows boxes, wrought iron railings
and brick highlights around windows and doors.
The elevations of our French Country Home Plans reflect these time
honored elements, while the floor Plans incorporate modern design features
designed for the way we live our lives in this century.
