			Rusticated lower level
			Balustrades of decorated balusters
			Rectangular windows with a cornice
			Projecting centre "building" with symmetric side ranges
			Roof hidden by balustrading
			Balcony (really a balcony facade) in front of a round arched window
			Use of stucco (saves clients money)
			Keystone sitting proud
			Curved stairs symmetrically about a sparsely developped basement area
			Truncated "Doric" columns in the balustrades and basement structure
			Portico-like loggia withcolumns
			Each centre facade component is precessed

			Note; Jones maintains the "perpendicular" style in the mutipanelled window glazing

			Here are some elements that depart from Palladio, and seem to be more Jonesian:

			1. No pediment to mark the entrance; Palladio’s Villa Cornaro, Villa Barbaro, Villa Badoer, Villa Emo, Villa Foscari and Villa Almerico (la Rotonda) all have pediments marking the entrances

			2. Proportions – breadth is emphasised, general effect is long and low, compared to the various Palladian villas, where the buildings seem much more compact, and the eye is drawn upwards (not to the same extent as in a Gothic cathedral!!!), due to pediments that mark entrances on central projecting portion of tripartite facades

			3. The columns in loggia are more widely spaced than in a typical Italian setting

			4. Long low effect detracts from a central focus – no gravitation to the centre - or not to the same degree as in one of Palladio's villas

			Is it my imagination or does Palladio use fewer and smaller windows in his villa facades? Is this due to the Italian climate? The Queen’s House seems to have more windows per bay, which sets up a rhythm, that in turn enhances the horizontality of the building
