Provence Style Country House

Building#22B: Provence Style Country House
Houses of this style are often seen in the south of France where people spend their holiday in the summer. This is a two story country house with a side kitchen just next to the main house.
The building has a typical tile roof in this region. Under the roof, the moulding structure is called “Génoise” in French. This house has a three layer Génoise supporting the roof.
The typical eaves “à la Génoise” in the Aix-en-Provence region.
This kind of eaves (the part of the roof that overhangs the wall) is very poplular in Provence. This design was originated from the region of Gênes, Italy, and was brought to Provence during the XVII century. It was at first widely used in Provence region and later expanded to other parts in the south of France.This structure allows the roof to have a larger extension which is a very good protection of the wall from the damage of rains. We know that the rains are quite heavies sometimes in the south of France.
