The Mediterranean architectural style originated with Spanish settlers who came to the United States. It emerged as an adaptation to the local hot climate, evoking a sense of blue skies with plenty of bright sunlight. Mediterranean-style buildings typically have thick walls to keep the sun’s heat from entering during the day, while at night the building retains that stored heat so the interior stays warm. To keep the heat out, Mediterranean-style windows are small. Another distinctive feature is having plants inside the building. Commonly used materials are clay and stone, chosen to create a sense of harmony with nature. Large-diameter pillars are placed at the front of the building to give it a more luxurious look. Another frequently seen element is arched openings. Mediterranean style typically has a spacious terrace with a pool or fountain to keep the air feeling cool. Roofs used are flat, sloped, or gabled. Mediterranean-style buildings are mostly pastel or bright in color.
Several of our residential designs are Mediterranean in style. But to avoid a generic Mediterranean look, we combine the Mediterranean style with other architectural styles that suit the client’s concept and wishes. Our combinations don’t remove or diminish the Mediterranean style — rather, they highlight it even more within the building. Some of the Mediterranean-style homes we’ve designed sit on spacious plots, making it easier to showcase the Mediterranean concept and style. However, we’ve also worked on buildings with limited land area, and our designs still managed to meet the client’s wishes and needs, of course with a slight blend of other architectural styles.

Classic Mediterranean Luxury House in Banjarmasin (Classic Mediterranean Luxury House Design, 775 m², Mrs. Reza, Banjarmasin)
Mrs. Reza’s home is designed in the Mediterranean style per her wishes, taking advantage of the ample plot size that supports this style. Besides the Mediterranean style, we also added an Arabian touch to this home for an even more luxurious impression. Despite choosing the Mediterranean style, this 3-story house doesn’t feel dated — instead, it feels classic-modern, expressed through its interior with marble flooring, brightly colored walls, and a spiral staircase. Beyond the interior, the large pillars at the front and the arched openings also give this house a grand impression. Yet as a family home, it still prioritizes the occupants’ comfort.

Classic Mediterranean Luxury House Design, 1000 m², Tanjung Selor, Kalimantan
Per the client’s wishes, Mrs. Wenny, we designed this house in a Mediterranean style with a grand, classic yet modern feel. On a fairly spacious plot, this building covers 1000 m². The spacious terrace features a pool at the back of the house to help cool the air, along with a relaxing/living area. The ornaments and façade support the Mediterranean architectural style. Mediterranean-style openings are usually arched, but this house is different, with square openings for a more modern look. To avoid losing the Mediterranean feel in the openings, the balcony railings are designed with European-style carvings to keep supporting the Mediterranean look. The many openings at the back of the house keep it from looking too massive, giving it a lighter feel while ensuring good air circulation. True to the Mediterranean style, this house has a flat roof.

Four-Story Luxury Mediterranean-Style House Design — Mr. Iwan, Jakarta
Per Mr. Iwan’s wishes, this home is designed with an elegant look, using the Mediterranean style for the front façade. This 4-story house is built on a limited plot with a fairly large number of occupant needs, but we managed to design it to meet Mr. Iwan’s requirements. The Mediterranean style in this house is a bit different, since there are no large pillars on the façade — instead, the building’s color and the ornamentation on the walls and balcony support the Mediterranean look.
