No single style exists throughout all of Jamaica. Jamaican architecture can include elements of African, Mediterranean, Spanish, contemporary, ranch, Bermuda or colonial styles. The Mediterranean and colonial styles are popular in new-construction homes, with older homes being ranch style.
Homes typically feature bright colors, usually in shades of blue, green, yellow, tan, brown or terra-cotta. Roofs can be tile, slate, metal or composite.
