The walls of the mas along the River Durance were made from river stones those of Gordes of limestone, and those of Roussillon ( Rosselló in Catalan) and the rest of Catalonia of red stones and clay. The mas was always built of inexpensive local materials stones or wood from the area. When a mas is small, and is occupied by a single family with a small area of land, it is called a mazet, or petit mas (alternatively, maset in Catalan). As the family grew larger the mas would be made longer to accommodate them. The size of a mas depended upon the wealth and number of its original occupants: from 150 square metres to over 1,000 square meters, including the barn and other structures. The mas of the Camargue is strongly influenced by the climate and the environment, and resembles a Spanish hacienda, with large spaces, white walls, an interior court and buildings in the form of a U for the residence and stables. The room where the silkworms were raised (see sericulture) was called the magnanerie. The upper floor also has space for storing forage for the animals and grain, and for the raising of silkworms.

A mas was distinct from the other traditional kind of house in Provence, the bastide, which was the home of a wealthy family. Not every farmhouse in Provence is a mas. It was constructed of local stone, with the kitchen and room for animals on the ground floor, and bedrooms, storage places for food and often a room for raising silkworms on the upper floor. A mas was the center of a largely self-sufficient economic unit, which could produce its own fruit, vegetables, grain, milk, meat and even silkworms.
