European House Plans

Q: What is a European house plan?

A European house plan is one inspired by the architecture of Europe. These designs have old-world appeal and come in a wide variety of styles—think French country, Tudor, Mediterranean including Spanish and Tuscan, and all kinds of cottages and grand luxury homes with regional flair. European homes are as diverse as the landscapes of the continent!

Q: What are the characteristics of a European home?

Despite their diversity, European homes tend to share some key features. Stucco, brick, and stone exteriors are common, as are steeply pitched and hipped rooflines. Tile roofs are preferred for Mediterranean designs. Also look for arched windows and doorways that add some unique curb appeal. European homes are traditional designs at their core, but many offer pretty modern interior layouts now!

Q: How do different European house styles compare?

Each kind of European home has its own history and overall vibe. For example, Mediterranean house plans are popular in the Sun Belt because they're suited to a hotter climate with open, breezy interiors. There's also Spanish colonial history in this region. Tudor homes are more popular in the Northeast and have more formal, defined layouts. French country homes can be modest or luxurious depending on their size. Consider your location and lifestyle to find the right European home for your needs!

Our European house plans are as big and beautiful as any you’ll find on the continent.

The majority of the European floor plans we offer are larger in square footage than most home styles, but our expert designers and architects have also designed cottage-sized European-inspired options (and everything in between). When searching through our European house plans you’ll find designs that include brick or stone exteriors, decorative woodwork, tall windows, and more steeply-pitched roofs that all work together to create that distinguished European style home. Many of our designs also include long, elegant driveways and courtyards in the front of each European home, which adds to the grandeur of their stunning curbside appeal.Our team of European house plan experts is here to help you find the design of your dreams.
