The country house of Provence, France, is a style derived from medieval country homes. The geometry of the
architecture is simple and additive. Exterior walls were constructed of local fieldstone with dressed stones at door
and window openings and building corners. The walls may or may not have been plastered. Plaster colors tended
to warm, and sometimes colorful, earth tones. Windows were frequently accented with colorful solid board shutters.
The roofs were shallow pitched and constructed of earthen colored clay tile with the characteristic stacked-tile
Genoise eave.
