The Spanish style is a reflection of the homes found in the Iberian Peninsula as a response to its particular climate and availability of materials. Simplicity characterises this style, yet handcrafted Mexican decorative tiles highlight the arched entryways and gables. Balconies and windows are enhanced with decorative wrought iron railings. This style witnessed a renaissance in early 20th century California, where the climate mimics that of Spain.
 

The Mediterranean style echoes the architecture of its cousin, the Emirates Hills. A simplified version, the Mediterranean style reflects the rectilinear forms of the many vernacular white-washed hillside towns that dot the Mediterranean Coast. From this simplicity, the refinement in solid details presents a style that echoes the past but forges into the modern era.
 

The Andalusian style originated in the Iberian Peninsula when the Moors integrated their culture and architecture with the panish. Characterized by the blending of the simple forms found in simple Spanish vernacular and in Moorish traditions of highly ornamental fenestration and facades, it utilizes courtyards and verandahs to maximise thermal delight. Andalusian Revival homes can be found.
