# Describe the documented design behind a Mediterranean label.

A Mediterranean home project page explains the specific design choices behind an approved project label. Connect the elevation, roof appearance, outdoor relationships and selected finishes to their project records. Describe what the published view supports. Identify your building contribution separately from design authorship. Leave unknown materials outside the public description.

## Which design choices support this project's Mediterranean label?

Start with the source of the label. Ask which approved project document uses Mediterranean and which design revision it describes. Keep the exact term in your working brief. A writer's impression of a rendering should not become the project's architectural classification.

Then choose the elevation details that explain this particular home. Describe their positions and relationships in plain words. If the approved elevation shows curved openings at the entry, locate those openings there. Avoid turning that observation into a rule about every Mediterranean home.

Keep each view's boundary visible. A front rendering can support a description of the illustrated front composition. It cannot establish the rear elevation, concealed construction or completed appearance. Use the corresponding approved views when the story needs to extend around the home.

Organize the narrative around an actual relationship. You might explain how a documented entry opening relates to the adjacent wall surfaces. You might connect a selected roof color with the approved exterior finish palette. Use these approaches only when your records establish those choices.

The [positioning article library](/articles/positioning/) addresses how documented choices become useful distinctions. Here, the distinction belongs to one project's design narrative. A style label alone should not carry a claim about your full range, current offerings or design services.

Keep the reason for a choice separate from its appearance. If no approved note explains why an opening curves, describe its shape. Do not invent a climate response, cultural influence or buyer preference. Those additions require their own source and publication review.

The FTC's [advertising and marketing guidance](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/advertising-marketing) says advertising claims must be truthful, nondeceptive and supported by evidence. Use that principle to review style copy. The guidance does not establish any feature of your project or approve this editorial method.

## How should roof appearance and outdoor relationships be described?

Describe the roof's illustrated appearance separately from its material. A color in a rendering does not identify the product beneath that appearance. If the project record confirms only a color, keep the material field unknown. Avoid naming tile, metal or another category from visual resemblance.

Locate the roof description within the elevation story. Explain which visible area the approved view shows and how its color relates to the documented palette. Leave installation details, concealed layers and performance outside that sentence. None follows from the Mediterranean label.

The [roofing specification page guide](/articles/builder-websites/roofing-specification-page-content/) covers material categories and roof-zone scope. Link to that explanation when a buyer needs specifications. Keep this style narrative focused on the relationship between documented appearance and the overall composition.

Apply the same separation to outdoor space. An approved elevation may show an opening beside a terrace. A plan may establish which interior room connects to it. Record those sources separately before combining them into a sentence about the indoor and outdoor arrangement.

Do not use indoor-outdoor living as a substitute for that explanation. Name the documented room and outdoor-space term when publication is cleared. Explain whether the record supports adjacency, a view or access. Avoid treating those relationships as interchangeable.

The [courtyard project page guide](/articles/builder-websites/courtyard-home-project-page-content/) examines surrounding room relationships in more detail. Use it when the courtyard itself is the subject. On a Mediterranean page, include only the outdoor relationship needed to explain the approved project composition.

Review finishes by location as well. A selected surface beside the entry does not establish the finish around the entire home. Use the documented generic description where it exists. If composition is unknown, describe the approved visible treatment without assigning a material.

Keep furnishings and planting outside your contribution unless the scope record includes them. A rendering may illustrate those elements alongside the building. Your public paragraph should identify the supported building choices without claiming responsibility for the entire scene.

## What should the Mediterranean project worksheet record?

Use this worksheet to connect a style label with specific design choices. It is an editorial proposal, not an official form or architectural standard. Keep source references in your internal record. Publish the approved explanation without exposing private drawings or project details.

```
Mediterranean worksheet
Label source:
Elevation feature:
Roof appearance versus material:
Outdoor relationship:
Selection scope:
Role:
```

Complete one entry for each feature that will carry the narrative. Identify the applicable revision within the source field. Mark unknowns explicitly. Do not fill a missing material or scope entry from a different home with a similar appearance.

| Worksheet field | Supported description | Separate question |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Label source | The approved record calls this project Mediterranean | Does that term apply to another revision? |
| Elevation feature | The identified view shows a curved entry opening | What construction forms the opening? |
| Roof appearance versus material | The rendering shows the approved roof color | Which roofing product is specified? |
| Outdoor relationship | The approved plan identifies a room connection | Which details are cleared for public description? |
| Selection scope | A finish belongs to this project's selection | Is it offered on any other project? |
| Role | The record identifies your building contribution | Who created the design? |

The table compares possible evidence boundaries. Its sample descriptions establish no real project facts. Replace them with supported wording before publication. Remove any proposed feature that your source cannot establish.

For each completed entry, draft a sentence that connects the feature to the whole composition. Read those sentences together. If they merely list shapes and colors, add a documented spatial relationship. If no such relationship is confirmed, keep the narrative narrower.

Use consistent feature labels across the worksheet and caption. An entry opening should not become a courtyard arch in a later paragraph without supporting records. Consistent labels let the reviewer compare the same design choice across text and images.

## What could a fictional rendering support?

Consider a fictional, unnamed project. Assume an approved brief uses the Mediterranean label. Its cleared front rendering shows curved entry openings and a selected roof color. The supporting packet does not identify a roofing product or concealed wall assembly.

For this exercise, the elevation feature field records only those curved openings and their location. The roof field separates the illustrated color from the unknown material. Outdoor relationships remain unknown because no corresponding plan information is supplied.

Assume the fictional role record identifies the builder's construction role and a separate design role. Do not merge those roles in the headline or introduction. A page can explain the builder's contribution without presenting the builder as the design's author.

A short public-page excerpt for this fictional example could read:

The approved project brief uses the Mediterranean label for this design. This front rendering shows curved entry openings and the selected roof color. The image illustrates design intent. The roofing product and concealed wall assembly are outside this description. The builder's recorded role covers construction; design authorship is separate.

The excerpt ties the term to its source and describes the specific view. It makes no statement about a tile roof, masonry structure or completed home. It also leaves the outdoor relationship out because the fictional packet does not support one.

If a later approved plan establishes a room connection, add that relationship after review. Do not infer it from a chair, door-like shape or landscaped area in the rendering. Request the appropriate record before expanding the story.

The [project gallery guide](/articles/builder-websites/project-gallery-pages-that-sell/) explains how captions relate to project context and scope. Use that approach for each approved view. Keep the Mediterranean explanation attached to the design choices shown by its own sources.

## How do you prepare the narrative for publication?

Give the project reviewer a source-linked draft before preparing the public layout. Keep label approval, design authorship and permission to publish drawings as separate questions. Approval of one sentence does not answer every question about the accompanying material.

1. Confirm the Mediterranean label against the applicable approved project record.

2. Select the elevation features that explain this project's composition.

3. Separate visible roof appearance from documented material and concealed construction.

4. Match each outdoor relationship to the approved plan information.

5. Record selection scope and the builder's specific contribution.

6. Confirm publication permission before including any drawing or image.

7. Compare the rendered page with the approved text and view labels.

W3C's [complex images tutorial](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/complex/) discusses short descriptions and fuller text explanations for complex visual information. Use relevant text to explain a cleared drawing's relationships. That guidance does not verify the design or authorize publication of a private drawing.

The Copyright Office's [Circular 41](https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ41.pdf) discusses architectural authorship and distinguishes architectural works from technical drawings. Keep those distinctions in your publication review. The circular provides no permission to use a particular project's design or drawing.

The [Owned website stage](/process/owned-website/) places the approved narrative within the builder's website. AgAI Labs addresses public content here. Send unresolved architectural, engineering and rights questions to the responsible qualified reviewer.

For another style-specific boundary, compare the [Tudor project page guide](/articles/positioning/tudor-home-project-page-content/). Its trim discussion requires different evidence. Do not transfer its feature language into a Mediterranean description merely to complete the same page structure.

## What else should a Mediterranean project page explain?

### Does a Mediterranean label establish a tile roof?

A Mediterranean label does not identify a project's roofing product. Use the applicable material record before naming tile or another category. When only a roof color is confirmed, describe that appearance and keep the material unknown.

### Can the page describe a rendering as completed work?

A Mediterranean project rendering illustrates the design information it is approved to show. Label it as a rendering beside the image. Use verified completed-project records before describing the depicted choices as built work.

### How should the builder's role appear?

Describe the builder's contribution to the Mediterranean project from the approved role record. Keep construction responsibilities separate from design authorship. Do not use a building role as evidence that the builder created the architectural design.

### Can one Mediterranean project establish a current standard?

A Mediterranean project's selections apply only to the scope its records establish. Confirm any current standard separately before presenting that selection as a general inclusion. A public project example does not establish another home's materials, options or availability.
