The appeal of European house plans is their classic elegance and picturesque detailing, both inside and out. These homes are generous in square footage, although small cottages that look like they've been pulled right out of a fairytale are also included in this collection. Smaller designs tend to be more open, while larger ones, with their ample space, have traditional floor plans and formally defined rooms. Brick, stone, and stucco exteriors are standard, just as they have been in Old World architecture for centuries. Due to the great variety of European designs, you will find that we have divided them into different collections—Italian, Italianate, and some French styles are included in this collection, while French Country, Mediterranean, Spanish, and Victorian plans have been sorted into their own collections due to their popularity and specific archetypes.
