Materials used in the architectural design of a Provence style house

Many architects in Israel are required for quite a few projects in European-style architectural design. The use of European architectural motifs characterizes many houses in Israel, especially private houses located in moshavim and neighborhoods where there is no high-rise construction.
Architects who delve into European-style architectural design know how widespread the demand for a Provence-style house in Israel is. A style that combines modern architectural design with rural elements.

Origin of a Provence-style house
In order to get to know in depth what a Provence-style house is, you should take a short 4-5 hour flight from Israel to visit southeastern France.
Provence is a geographical region in southeastern France. Originally, that area served as a Roman province, which of course significantly influenced the way houses were built in this region. Provence borders the Mediterranean Sea and is close by air to Italy.
In the Provence region, there are many rural areas, some of which excel in making fine wine. In these areas, you can find the same Provencal-style houses. Alongside those rural areas is the central city of Marseille and other cities such as Nîmes and Avignon.

Considerable use of natural materials from nature
Both in Provence and in many other parts of France and the rest of the continent, European-style architectural planning involves extensive use of natural materials, primarily the use of strong and durable wood. Even in a European architecture project, which includes a Provencal-style house, wooden materials can be incorporated, whether in the construction of floors, walls, ceilings, the use of furniture, decks for balconies, and more.
Considerable use of wood for a Provencal-style house is made using teak and oak.

Teak wood
In any architectural project that includes the construction of a Provencal-style house, the possibility of using teak wood will arise. This is a wood that belongs to the hardwood family. Hence, teak wood is considered durable and high-quality, with high resistance to moisture and water, which has led to its widespread use in Provence, which sits on the Mediterranean Sea. The natural color of teak is dark brown, so it fits in perfectly with luxurious designs that characterize European architecture, including the architectural design of a Provence-style house.
As a raw material for furniture, teak is a material for furniture that we will want to enjoy for many years. A combination of furniture made of teak can be seen in large libraries, desks, and even garden furniture.
Oak
Oak also finds a place of honor in European-style architectural design, including the architectural design of a Provence-style house.
Oak, like teak, is also considered a hard wood. The wood is also preferred by many for being easy to maintain and from which a wide variety of furniture can be created, certainly if we want to emphasize rural motifs in the design of a Provence-style house.
There is a distinction between the two types of oak. One is a white oak and the other is a red oak. The oak tree grows in northeastern Europe and has also made its way to the rural areas of Provence.
