Influenced by the original Spanish colonial settlements through the Southwest, Southwest style homes utilizes wood, brick and stucco on its smooth walls - the home plans typically call for ornamental flat frames with highly decorative carved doors and stonework, patterned tilework, spiral columns, courtyard fountains, and graceful wrought iron.
The typical Southwest style home is low to the ground - two stories at most, and asymmetrical, creating myriad views and traffic patterns in the interior. The home may open to a courtyard or informal entertaining area in the rear. The Southwest style home is a romantic interpretation of the simple Spanish structures of Spain's now-vanished New-World empire.
