Difference from Modern Mediterranean: Not Everywhere is Whitewashed

A Spanish house that is not white. Modern Mediterranean vocabulary consists of white walls, arches, flat roofs, and shadow blue, which is actually only practiced in a small coastal area in the south; moving inland and north, houses are the grey-brown of stone, the orange-red of brick, the dark brown of wood, roofs are steep, windows are small, and there is no white on the walls. Whitewashing is done to reflect strong sunlight; it is not done in rainy areas.
Avoid: whitewashing walls in all regions, using flat roofs and arches as universal vocabulary, adding shadow blue and Mediterranean resort color schemes, making the architecture look like the Aegean Sea.

一棟不是白色的西班牙房子。現代地中海的語彙是白牆、拱、平屋頂、影藍,那其實只是南方沿海一小塊地區的做法;往內陸與北方走,房子是石頭的灰褐、磚的橘紅、木頭的深褐,屋頂是陡的、窗是小的、牆上沒有一點白。刷白是為了反射強烈日照,雨多的地方不這樣做。避免:把所有地區的牆都刷成白色、使用平屋頂與拱作為通用語彙、加入影藍與地中海度假的配色、讓建築看起來像愛琴海。
