Tuscan House Plans

The Tuscan style house plan evokes thoughts of strolling through the vineyards and rolling wheat fields in central Italy with its rustic grandeur and European charm. A close cousin to the Mediterranean style house plan, the Tuscan design features low-pitched tile roofs, stucco or stone exteriors, large windows flanked by shutters and enclosed courtyards or patios with wrought iron gates. Inside, the design offers exposed timber beams, textured plaster finishes, tile flooring and generous, airy kitchens. 

The modern Tuscan design, timeless in its appeal, is found throughout the world. The house is built to last generations with its stone and stucco exterior, exposed timber beams and abundance of natural wood, tile and rock. Equally as important to Tuscan design are the interior finishes and craftsmanship, such as textured plaster walls, tall windows, wrought iron complements, inviting stone fireplaces and sturdy mantelpieces. Outdoor spaces for al fresco living are also central to the Tuscan style home. Similar to the Tuscan style, Spanish style and Southwest style house plans also offer low roof lines, stucco or stone exteriors, outdoor living space and open floor plans.
