French type houses

Date March 2024

Houses of French type have always something elegant about them. Stylish, as most architecture in France still is. Can we build French style houses in another country? Why not? If necessary we can make a few adaptions. It is inevitable that these houses can only be built for people with money. But there are so many millionaires nowadays that this should not be a real problem. In stead of a mansion outside the city they could choose for a representive home in the city.

Suitable neighbourhoods

One can think of rich neighbourhoods where houses of this style are appropriate. It would certainly elevate the status and atmosphere in streets. Making it all the more attractive for rich people to have a house there. People with equal social status usually like to live close to each other as it brings a feeling of safety and belonging.

Underneath are given several examples with a short description or info.
