stuccoed

Given rough plaster

Stuccoed describes a surface covered with stucco—a plaster-like material applied to exterior walls and ceilings.

The word typically appears in architectural descriptions: a stuccoed Spanish colonial, the stuccoed walls of the courtyard.

Stuccoed surfaces are common in Mediterranean, Southwestern, and mission-style buildings.
