• Architectural Style:
  The architecture is often inspired by Spanish, Mediterranean, or other styles that emphasize outdoor living and natural elements.

  Natural materials like stone, brick, and terracotta are commonly used in fountain-style homes, reflecting the natural environment and the water element.

  The landscaping around the fountain and the home is typically designed to complement the water feature, with lush greenery and plants that thrive in the local climate.

  Fountains are often seen as symbols of life, purity, and tranquility, adding a sense of calm and serenity to the home.
