Difference from English Manor: Symmetrical, stone-built, steep roof

A French, not an English, manor. English country houses are mostly brick-built, asymmetrical, with shallow roofs and sash windows; French ones are the opposite: light-colored stone facades, strictly symmetrical, steep Mansard or double-pitched roofs with slate tiles, and finely divided French windows with wooden shutters. Avoid: using red brick and asymmetrical massing, making the roof shallow, using sash windows, adding English floral patterns and decorative plates.

一座法國而不是英國的莊園。英式的鄉間宅邸多半是磚造、不對稱、屋頂緩、窗是上下推拉的;法式相反:淺色的石材立面、嚴格對稱、陡峭的孟莎或雙坡屋頂配石板瓦、細分割的落地窗配木百葉。避免:使用紅磚與不對稱的量體、把屋頂做得平緩、使用上下推拉窗、加入英式的碎花與掛盤陳設。
