Mission House Plan Details

Mission style house plans are inspired by Spanish church architecture of the 18th century American southwest. Heavily carved or paneled doors set in elaborately carved portals welcome visitors and family members in distinctive southwest style. Revived in the southwest and Florida from 1890 to 1930, Mission style house plans evoke a unique sense of time and place and add regional spice to everyday living.

Mission House Plan Features

Combination Exterior

With regional variations from simple in New Mexico to more ornate examples in Arizona, California and Texas, Mission home plans feature massive adobe brick walls, breezy arched arcaded walkways around patios, multi-curved gables, a charming bell tower or "campanario". Roofs are flat or low-pitched red-tile with multi-carved parapets supported by round horizontal logs or "vigas".

Undulating Parapets

Windows in classical Mission house plans are located high on the wall protected by wrought-iron grilles. Modern examples let more light in with rectangular double hung windows, undulating parapets and dormers which are the telltale markings of a Mission home.
