Mason’s Floor plan • My house, Casa de Mason, would be located in Miami, Florida, USA. • My floor plan relates to Ancient Roman Architecture because the floors are stone. I used arches for all of the entrance ways, which is found in many Roman buildings. Lastly, the house is very sturdy. I couldn’t use columns, but my house is strong as if I had columns supporting the frames.
