French architects were inspired by the Italian masters, as were German and English patrons of architecture.  The general 'tools' of the Italian proportion, materials, and characteristic details were incorporated into a style that was best promoted by French kings and then the nobility copied the grand palaces into their own chateaux.  The same details and proportions were employed by smaller country homes to satisfy owners who wished to emulate their national style.
There is a measure of compromise required to translate large imposing structures into smaller, yet equally mesmerizing homes for our time.  John Henry has been doing just that for over 30 years in locales that you would not expect to see a French styled house.
Each period style has to be treated correctly.  Mixing the styles, while possible, yields less than satisfactory results.  One can be inventive and scale down the basic markers into more quixotic country houses.
