SPANISH HOME EXTERIOR STYLE

Spanish-style home design is prevalent in the Southwest, Florida, and California—areas favored by Spanish settlers in the 1600s. Influenced by the architecture of their homeland, Spanish builders used materials that were regionally accessible, including clay, adobe (a combination of clay and straw), stucco, and timber.

Since these homes were located in warm climates, they were designed to be naturally efficient at heating and cooling. The thick, light-colored stucco walls absorbed heat during the day, emitting warmth to the home in the evenings. Overnight, the walls retained cool air, keeping the house comfortable as temperatures rose throughout the day. Small windows minimized the harsh, hot sunlight while keeping the interior shaded.

Modern Spanish architecture includes Mission, Pueblo, and Floridian Style and features the traditional characteristics of simple yet elegant Spanish design.
