French Country House Designs
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 House Designs reflect these time
honored elements, while the floor Designs incorporate modern design features
designed for the way we live our lives in this century.
