ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER
HISTORY AND CHARACTER
Classic Mediterranean architecture with influence from the
Provence Region of France…
Mediterranean Revival is a design style introduced in the United States in the waning nineteenth century and incorporating references from Spanish Renaissance, Spanish Colonial, Beaux-
Arts, Italian Renaissance, Arabic Andalusian architecture, and Venetian Gothic architecture.
Peaking in popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, the movement drew heavily on the style of palaces and seaside villas and applied them to the rapidly expanding coastal resorts largely in
California and Florida.
Structures are typically more linear and based on a rectangular floor plan, and feature more massive primary façades. Symmetry is a bold component of this style. A combination of stone and
stuccoed walls, tiled roofs, windows in the shape of arches or circles, one or two stories, wood or wrought iron balconies with window grilles, and articulated door surrounds are characteristic.
The material pallet is taken literally from the hillside villages that characterize the region.
The Architecture of Provence includes a rich collection of monuments from the Roman Empire; Cistercian monasteries from the Romanesque Period, medieval palaces and churches;
fortifications from the time of Louis XIV, as well as numerous hilltop villages and fine churches. Provence was a very poor region after the 18th century, but in the 20th century it had an
economic revival.
Provence is located in the southeast corner of France. The original comté de Provence extended from the west bank of the Rhone River to the east bank of the Var river, bordering
the comté of Nice. Provence culturally and historically extended further west of the Gard to Nîmes and to the Vidourle river.
