A native Floridian probably wouldn’t draw the typical split-plan design with a tile roof and a screened-in lanai.

As fundamental as it sounds, the use of this structure has a long history dating back to ancient Greece. The classical Greek temple, the Parthenon, made use of this design

For much of the last millennia many great architects have looked upon the Pantheon as a staple of classical architecture, as well as a model for many modern day buildings.
