Unique House, Isabella’s Little Pink House:
A color wheel shows the principal hues divided into two major segments. The area made up of red, red-orange, orange and yellow-orange is said to consist of warm colors, while the area made up of yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, and blue-violet is said to consist of cool colors. The so-called primary colors (when mixing pigments for paint, for example;) are red, yellow, anil blue, and all other colors can be created by mixing these together; when all three are mixed in proper proportions the remit is a deep gray approaching black. When mixing light itself, however, the three primary colors are different (reddish-blue, or magenta, yellow, and bluish-green, or cyan), and a mix of these three produces white light; this is the principle of color television.
We say a color, or chroma, is saturated when it cannot be made any stronger than it is, that a red or a blue cannot be made any redder or bluer. If gray is added to a color, darkening it, that is said to produce a shade. If white is added to a color, that produces a tint, commonly called a pastel…

The perception of textures is dependent upon the quality of light falling on the building. These old houses are part of the historical part of Rio de Janeiro. Unfortunately, they are not well preserved, but renovation is set to start soon.

Hispanic architecture also captured the imagination of candy baron James H. Nunnally. During the early 1920s, Nunnally founded Morningside, Florida and populated the neighborhood with a romantic mix of Mediterranean Revival and Art Deco houses

The stucco walls and cool, shaded interiors make Spanish Eclectic homes best suited for warmer climates. Nevertheless, scattered examples - some quite elaborate - can be found in chilly northern regions.
Manifesting in a variety of forms, Spanish Eclectic houses were built in nearly every part of the United States. Simplified versions of the style evolved for working-class budgets. During the 1930s, neighborhoods filled with one-story stucco houses with arches and other details that suggested a Spanish Colonial flavor.

Spanish Revival in Florida ;
Meanwhile, on the other side of the continent, architect Addison Mizner was adding new excitement to Spanish Revival architecture.
Born in California, Mizner had worked in San Francisco and New York. At age 46, he moved to Palm Beach, Florida for his health. He designed elegant Spanish Revival houses for wealthy clients, purchased 1,500 acres of land in Boca Raton, and launched an architectural movement known as the Florida Renaissance.

High Style Spanish Revival in Santa Barbara, California :
Possibly the most famous examples of Spanish Revival architecture can be found in Santa Barbara, California. Santa Barbara had a rich tradition of Hispanic architecture long before Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue unveiled his vision of a Mediterranean skyline. But after a massive earthquake in 1925, the town was rebuilt. With its clean white walls and inviting courtyards, Santa Barbara became a showplace for the new Spanish style.
A landmark example is the Santa Barbara Courthouse designed by William Mooser III. Completed in 1929, the Courthouse is a showplace of Spanish and moorish design with imported tiles, enormous murals, hand-painted ceilings, and wrought iron chandeliers.

How a Canal Inspired Architects:
In 1915, gates to the Panama canal swung open. To celebrate, San Diego - the first North American port of call on the Pacific Coast - launched a spectacular exposition. The chief designer for the event was Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, who had a fascination for Gothic and Hispanic styles.
Goodhue did not want the cold, formal Renaissance and Neoclassical architecture that was normally used for expositions and fairs. Instead, he envisioned a fairytale city with a festive, Mediterranean flavor.

A ranch style home in Salinas, California/Mediterranean House Styles

Although the style is difficult to name, it's fairly easy to recognize a Spanish Eclectic home. Virginia and Lee McAlester, authors of A Field Guide to American Houses, characterize Spanish Eclectic homes as having these features:
Low-pitched roof
Red roof tiles
Little or no overhanging eaves
Stucco siding
Arches, especially above doors, porch entries and main windows
Some Spanish inspired homes have:
Asymmetrical shape with cross-gables and side wings
Flat roof and parapets
Or, a hipped roof
Carved doors
Spiral columns and pilasters
Courtyards
Carved stonework or cast ornaments
Patterned tile floors and wall surfaces

Step through the stucco archway, linger in the tiled courtyard, and you might think you were in Spain. Or Portugal. Or Italy, or northern Africa, or Mexico. North America's Spanish inspired homes embrace the entire Mediterranean world, combine it with ideas from Hopi and Pueblo Indians and add flourishes that would make Walt Disney proud.
It's hard to know what to call the style. Spanish-inspired homes built in the first decades of the 20th century are usually described as Spanish Colonial Revival, suggesting that they borrow ideas from early settlers. However, these homes might also be called Hispanic or Mediterranean. And, because these homes often combine many different styles, some use the term Spanish Eclectic.

A house is a building typically lived in by one or more people. The word "house" may also refer to a building that shelters animals, especially in a zoo.
It generally has walls and a roof to shelter its enclosed space from precipitation, wind, heat, cold, and other elements.
The social unit that lives in a house is known as a household. Most commonly,[citation needed] a household is a family unit of some kind, though households can be other social groups, such as single persons, or groups of unrelated individuals. Settled agrarian and industrial societies are composed of household units living permanently in housing of various types, according to a variety of forms of Land tenure. English-speaking people generally call any building they routinely occupy "home". Many people leave their house during the day for work and recreation but typically return to it to sleep or for other activities.
