The document describes several typical Spanish home styles. Spanish homes often have multiple floors, large windows, and are made of materials like plaster that withstand temperature changes. They also frequently have central open areas or patios to allow air flow and cooling. Landscaping with plants and trees helps provide shade from the warm climate.

many houses are built with an
open central area. This area
allows for wind to flow
throughout the house, and
helps to cool the inside
temperature down.
