Last updated on · ⓘ How we make our designs
Check out our modern Spanish Mediterranean houses that show how white stucco, arches, courtyards and drought-friendly gardens can feel like a relaxed resort while still working for real, everyday life.
We’ve been quietly obsessed with modern Spanish Mediterranean homes, so this collection is basically our love letter to white stucco, clay tiles and really good arches.
Think calm villas, courtyard hideaways, hillside verandas and a few confident towers that look like they’re guarding sunsets instead of castles.
For these designs we pulled from old Spanish farmsteads, haciendas and coastal villas, then trimmed away the fuss so the strong shapes, warm stone and slim black windows could take the lead.
It is the mix we chase every time, homes that feel a bit resort but still make sense for grocery runs, kids, dogs and the occasional slightly chaotic dinner party.
As you move through each facade, notice how the courtyards tuck you in, how the balconies and Juliet rails add just enough romance, how drought friendly gardens keep everything relaxed and easy. Pay attention to the tower entries, big arches and quiet wood doors too, they are doing more than just looking pretty, they are setting the whole mood before you even step inside.

The clay roof tiles and restrained landscaping finish the look, so the whole place feels relaxed and welcoming, more like a quiet retreat than a showoff mansion.
