European house plans evoke images of the Old World with an array of influences across many regions and hundreds of years. Design elements from architectural styles that have stood the test of time work their way into modern European house plans and find a perhaps surprising relevance for today’s contemporary family. Ranging from large floor plans with grand rooms and formal spaces to small home plans with open designs, the European influence can be seen in a variety of current custom house plans.
